Any endorsements or advice to share?

see if you can take a ride in Scott Yeamans 3.0 914/6..he has them front and rear....he also has larger front torsion bars and stiffer rear springs...yet the car rides very, very nice (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Mueller: I believe my car has a 911 front suspension. Does this mean that I would get the 911 front kit and the 914 rear kit? How does one know for sure that the car has a 911 front suspension?

I think the front kit can be used on both cars (911 up to 89) and the rear is for 914's only.

That's my guess looking at Mueller's web site.

I'll have to ask Scott for a ride then. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) the car is very smooth, despite the really heavy springs ...

i'll have a set on my car as soon as i can find a donor motor ...

I GOT THEM!!!

They are awesome. I have driving Scott's 3.0L 6 on the track and auto-x and they are awesome. I just go back from driving JP's 6 at an auto-x and I could noticably tell a difference in the ride.

Here they are on my car...

I drove with Mike's stuff on a 914/6 in Germany - very smooth and quiet. We also drove Nurburgring and the ride was excellent, smooth and progressive. Thoroughly recommended!

I've ran them for 2 AX seasons thus far on a very rough venue. They seem to be holding up well.....nuthin' has fallen out while I was watching (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) .

They seem a touch more harsh on the street, but not objectionally so.....my car is a touch harsh so I may not be the best judge (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

I have the fronts with 23mm Tbars and the ride is very smooth I would recommend them to you. They make your front end very responsive

Thanks everyone. I'm convinced. I sent Mueller an email from his web site so now just waiting.

I hope he's still making them.

Ira @ Tarett Engineering still has a few sets in stock ready for shipment. He can accept credit cards I think, I cannot not.

I'm out of town for a week and won't be able to put anything together until I get back, I still have sets left, I just am not advertising them (good business practive huh??? hahahaha)

Just thought I'd ask.

Thanks.

Mike's bearings are one of the best investments I've made to my car.

Well worth the $ - I'll ride smooth as silk (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I have a set for the rear I still have not put on yet. I may try to get to it this week, or not. I really need to get my garage cleaned out so I can put my car back in there to work on it at night when I have the time to do it.
