Can anyone offer a suggestion for the initial setting for my new rear springs? I know I will likely adjust to fit, but I would like to get it close to start.
These are new Bilstein sport shocks and 914 Rubber 100 lb springs. The car will be a near stock 4 cylinder. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

You're not alone on this one, as this just came up here:
http://ftp.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=350758 The 100lb springs are going to be a variable, as will the lighter engine, but maybe the pics get you into the ballpark? I might try one perch "higher" with 100lb springs vs 140s, but not sure what you are after for ride height. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It all depends on if your looking for a "stock" or more "aggressive" ride height, what your wheel and tire combination is and where you plan on setting the front ride height. |
