Options for putting a 914 on the ground (LOW), Screw geometry, I want it low. Options

[DrifterJay]

Alright, I am aware of the consequences of lowering a car. Fucked up geometry, rubbing issues, bump steer...yada yada. I don't care. I like the look and for me, form beats function.

What options do I have for the front:

Raised spindles (somewhat expensive 2-300 hundred)

Cut shock tube with short stroke shock (what I am leaning toward)

Modifying torsion bar adjusters to make it go lower

Coilovers ( I am poor, so it ain't gonna happen right now, unless I modify MR2 coilovers to work on a 914 front)

What options for the rear:

Regular shocks with adj. sleeves (loss of travel when low though)

Raised pick-up and raised towers (expensive from CFR)

Short stroke shock with coilover sleeve (I like this idea)

Custom Rear Coilover (easy if I go to my old work and sort through all the old prototypes and find a shock/pillowball combo that works) lotta time and R&D though...



SO, these are my thoughts, what do you guys think??? I have heard of some guys shortening the shock tubes before....Any idea what shock they used?? How have you lowered your car, whether a street car or super low track car?
