I am trying to figure out what to do about my suspension. I want dampening adjustability and height adjustability. I am not very familiar with products for the 914. If it was any other car I would go with something like Tein SS or H&R etc.
What coil overs do you guys use? Any full coil over setups available? (Threaded shocks not sleeves) Should I go with a koni shock threaded sleeve setup? I have a budget of about $800 give or take. I would like to get a new torsion bar too. Does it make any difference if I am doing a 5 lug conversion from a 911 in the front? Where did you get what you're using? |

yeah corpselaurel,
there are threaded shock bodies out there.. I have carrera threaded shock bodies on my rear... Figure a lot more than 800 though for a full system. I think I've got about 3k into my suspension and I'm going to have used front torsion bars in it.... most race classes do not allow a front coil over unless you want to jump up to the big boys (not even an option for a vintage class around here).. Like mueller said.. there are a lot of things you could do first that would give you an actual return on your investment... before you go to a full 4wheel coil over and gain bragging rights... Drivers school comes to mind and would give about 10x the performance improvement... brant |
