Who is the person or vender who had a very nice adj coil over kit?
I need one for my flared 914-6 GT clone with 9X16s, and am running 22 bars up front and a Tarrett sway bar and Bilsteins all the way around. So what would be the best set up & spring rate??
TIA

Aaron Cox, how stiff is the ride?
Also would there kit work with Koni adj rear ? I love bilstien but I like the adjustability of the koni's. How much $$ was the total?
Thanks

ride isnt that bad... its a street car, and can be rough on crappy roads.. but handles like a dream on smooth roads. not bad at all.
coleman racing makes kits to fit certain OD shocks. 2.08" comes to mind... and they do make an adapter ring to take up slack if it exists...
measure the OD of the shock body between the circlip lands.....

If you didn't want to shop for individual components, Call Rich at HighPerformance House. You can get the Coleman's cheaper, but you must know what you are ordering. The parts from Rich Bontempi (HPH) come from ground control if I'm not mistaken.

Racerbvd,
You can also get these from Jason at Paragon Products. He stocks them and has many springs to go with them.
Good luck,

Thought I'd chime in on this discussion. I just recieved my Bilstein coilover kits today from Summit Racing. They are designed by Bilstein to fit the 2.0" diameter shock body and come with a threaded sleeve, and a pair of upper and lower spring perches. They look to be very high quality pieces...made from aluminum and anodized black. 1 kit supplies one shock. Total price for two kits shipped was $130.75 ($59.95 per kit and a one time handling fee...no shipping...of $10.95)
Summit Racing part number BSN-193117 $59.95 per kit
1 (800) 230 3030
I'll report back in the spring to let you know how I like them. I expect that they will work great!
