Can someone recommend where to buy replacement shock s and struts I’m looking for the most comfortable ride not knife edge handling Since I’ve gotten back into 914 s I’m seeing coil over rear setups being sold now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) Should I be leaning towards that or just replacing the stock stuff ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) And what kinda budget should i plan for ?$ ( I already know I don’t have elephant racing type money $ ) * Attached image(s) |

I wound up going with Bilsteins and was concerned they would be a little too stiff for a street ride. I was pleasantly surprised at how supple they are. Firm, but supple which gives great handling and a comfortable ride. I've made several 400 mile straight through road trips in my car in total comfort. In fact, it's the only car I've ever owned that I can drive 400 miles and still be ready for more at the end of the trip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Bottom line is I don't think you can go wrong with either Bilstein or Koni. |
