Going to look at this 1973 914/2.0 next week.
Looking at this picture I am wondering if there is a problem with the suspension. Is the front cranked up and the rear drooping/collapsed? ![]() |

Old 914 rear coil springs can sag, new 100lb springs are good.
My opinion, keep the rear low and lower the front to match. |
