Hi teeners. Getting close to exorcising the demon air bubbles from the brakes and I notice something in driving around. The inside rearview mirror is worthless! All I can see is the pavement 20 feet back.
So, I'm thinking the front is too high or the rear is too low. The car has Koni coil overs on the rear and unknown struts on the front. The Konis are adjustable but only for damping, and they're over 15 years old. The rear wheels have a significant amount of camber. I watched one of Ian's videos about installing rear coilovers and if I follow his rule of using a straightedge from the rocker panel the rear is too low. However, I believe I could also lower the front pretty easily. I'm new to the 914 world so all opinions and thoughts will be considered, absorbed, and used to bring the BB to the straight and level. Thanks. Oh, a photo is included. Attached image(s)
