I also have new Koni Red's all around and have looked (although a meeger effort) for coil overs without avail.
I would be interested in adjustable perches. Especially if I could utilize the two pairs of Weltmeister springs that I currently have.
I will keep an eye on this thread. Please pm me if you have better luck than I.
thanks

I contacted Coleman. Thanks for the link!
Here is what I said:
Enquiry: Is your ""coil over kit 5"" compatible with koni - red shocks? Application 1974 porsche 914
Reply:
The inside diameter of our shock sleeves is 2.04 or 2.08. If the Koni shocks are about .010 smaller then the I.D. of the tubes they will work.

The Rear set-up on 914s is already a Coil-over set-up, Are you looking for Adjustable Perches?

Bump for Tarret Engineering. I have this kit and its adjustable for height and works with Koni and Bilstiens. I went with 150 pound springs but other rates are available and the price is fair too.
