hello,
I am looking for rear shocks that have adjustable perches so that I can get the rear of my car down. I have a set of KYB's with 180 lb. springs that I am using but the KYB's have no adjustment. Do any of you have or know what shocks are compatiable with 914's that can be adjusted. I plan on reusing the 180 lbs springs Thanks, Steve Sorry about the picture it is hard to see, but the best one I could find of the set up. Attached image(s)

Most people end up getting rid of the stock diameter springs and go with 2.50" diameter springs (10" free length)
i vote for Koni Yellows (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) in order to get the stock diameter springs to work with the adjustable perches, you'll have to do some modifications such as this: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1119289911.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1119289815.jpg) full story here: Mickey Mouse Engineering |

Very Cool Mueller!! Thanks for the input. Is there any that will fit that already come with adjustable perches though, I am just afraid of my welding. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

i have Bilstein sports in the rear with stock springs. Bilsteins come with 6 positions of adjustability. i recently scored a coilover kit like mikes to use 2.5" springs |

if you go with new bil's or Konis (yellows), the threaded collar you see slides onto the shock
Rich @ HPH sells them as well as Jason at Paragon Products only reason I did the mod was 'cause I was too cheap to buy the correct shocks, sooner or later I'll new rear Konis to match my front Koni Yellow shocks |
