I've read almost all the threads covering the lowering of a 914. Reindexing the torsions gives you about 2 inches, raising the spindles gives you about an inch. So now you're almost at the bottom. You're at the point where the rubber inserts bottom on the struts and the ride quality suffers.
So I was wondering if anyone out there had ever considered or researched cutting the strut tube shorter and finding a shorter insert. The super beetles have this and it solves bottoming out. Just throwing this out there. Maybe someone here has done it. |
