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) |

I can't say for sure if you have to zip tie the newer perches, as mine have been tied top and bottom since new, but with progressive springs I'd still do it.
With the old style perch the springs would always spin, even with the top perch zip-tied to the spring the bottom was rarely seated correctly for long. YMMV (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |
