I am trying to figure out what to do about my suspension. I want dampening adjustability and height adjustability. I am not very familiar with products for the 914. If it was any other car I would go with something like Tein SS or H&R etc.
What coil overs do you guys use? Any full coil over setups available? (Threaded shocks not sleeves) Should I go with a koni shock threaded sleeve setup? I have a budget of about $800 give or take. I would like to get a new torsion bar too. Does it make any difference if I am doing a 5 lug conversion from a 911 in the front? Where did you get what you're using? |
