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’m looking for the most comfortable ride not knife edge handling If comfortable ride is your goal its worth not overlooking the improvement that replacing the 50 year old rubber control arm bushings can make. Old rock hard rubber transfers a lot of vibration through the chassis regardless of the suspension you are running. That along with additional sound deadening in the cabin can add a lot of the comfort level (in addition to sticking with all stock boge shocks and springs) tire selection will also play a part in overall comfort. |
