Front suspension, Seeking General Thoughts Options

[Mblizzard]

As one would expect for a 37 year old car, there are obviously some parts that need replacement. I have new control arm bushings and ball joints to install. But every time I hit a bump it sounds like a jumble of parts slapping together. Thinking the shocks are gone. Anything else to check? Where is a good place to get stock shocks or is there another shock type that would give a comfortable ride and improve handling?

You rock Erick! As of this point, I don't have a style because I have put very few miles on the car. But my expectation is that My wife would like to have a smooth ride, or at least as smooth as can be expected in a 914. But i would like just a little bit better than stock handling. It currently has new KYBs with what look to be 140 lbs springs on the rear. Have not opened up the front yet. I have the poly graphite bushings for the front and rear. Due to some repair work that was done, I am thinking some additional stiffening of the the chassis will be in the works. Torsion bars seem ok for as much as you can tell with out having them out. It has AC so there is a hole in the front trunk but I am not sure that hole changes the handling. Steering rack seems tight. Needs to have boots replaced. It currently has a bump steer kit installed on the steering rack.

So I was thinking just go with the KYB GR-2 type?
