Hi All,
My 73 914-4, just got on the road (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) , will bottom the suspension in the rear when I take off in 1st gear quickly. It will also bottom out at speed if I go over a good size bump. At rest, It sits lower in the back than the front. OK, Now the question: Is it the springs, the shocks, or a combinations of the 2? The car is not bouncy when driving, just bottoms out when driven hard. Also where is the best place to get the springs or shocks? Thanks in Advance |
