what kind of shocks do you have right now in the rear?

if something sucky and rock hard like KYB's, replace those 1st and run the rear Konis at full soft....or I guess you could get the front Konis and run those at full hard.....

main thing is that you do not want the rear suspension to be stiffer than the front, whether it be springs, swaybars or shocks....

boge shocks. i suggest getting the front end done first. having a tight rear suspension could lead to some tail happy situations (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (i would know (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) ) what i had done first was go 140lb welt springs and adjustable bilstein shocks in the rear and havent really tinkered w/ the front end. Should've done the opposite. My upcoming plan is to install the stock front swaybar i acquired from a fellow member and then search for a stock rear bar.
