I took the 914 out and washed it today. Also took a few pics while it was clean and out of the garage. I will try to attach a pic here, but am not sure it will work. Do you guys think it's sagging in the rear? I've looked at other pics of other cars and they didn't seem as saggy. Do I need springs and/or shocks? Thanks for any thoughts. Andy... Attached image(s)

Thanks for all the responses. I gotta admit, I was hoping for the simple answer "you need springs", but I am glad I got the real scoop from you guys. I never would have thought to lower the front... this almost seems funny to me. I'm sure I could use springs and shocks (and a lot of other things), but for now I guess I'll look into lowering the front, cause it may not cost me anything. I still need to buy tires from Tire Rack today. Of course, not even knowing the front could be lowered on these cars, I have no clue (totally clueless) as to how to go about doing this. I'll go back and re-read the post and do a search on how to do this, but does anyone have a detailed explanation on how to lower the front? Is it just a matter of turning the torsion bar adjusting screws? Where are they? I'll get my Haynes. Thanks again fellas. I was sure I would get help and answers here.
