Does anyone know what shocks to use to get critical damping for the rear of a stock 914 withe 100lb. springs?
Can anyone suggest a link for optimizing 914 suspension for street and also for performance? |

You will want a 2 or 3 way adjustable shock, Moton, JRZ, Penske, Koni, and Afco makes a great shock with remote resevoir , Also Fox..
Most of those are serious racing equipment, and are overkill for street use... |

Koni yellow sports are the ones to get as they are adjustable and damn good shocks.

Two replies ??
I dont have a link... but I have a clue. Koni. I can tell from your 100lb spring rates that you dont need a 5 way adjustable shock. A simple adjustable Koni would work fine. b |
