I am refreshing the rear suspension on my BB. Yet another project I hadn't really planned on but here we are.
I now have everything I need to reinstall the rear trailing arms and shocks. The arms got painted new bushings and bearings (thanks @iankarr and 914rubber). New Koni sports from Paragon (thanks Jason), PMB rebuilt brake calipers (thanks Eric). I found some new/old Weltmeister SP100's in a box of parts a PO had bought for another project car I have. See the photos. The only mark on the springs that came off the BB are a redish paint on each coil. The car did sit lower than stock by my eye. See photo. I don't know much about the SP100 but they do look pretty :-) Would you go all the way and install the "new" springs. I realize 100lbs are stiffer than stock. I could always go back if I don't like the ride. The koni's aren't full coil overs but have a bit of ride height adjustment. The middle clip position matches the old Koni shocks I removed. The springs do sit 2 to 3 mm taller with no compression.    |

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Aug 23 2023, 07:01 PM)  Old school Orange Koni, 100 # springs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'm running this combo on a 914-6 and really like it for street driving. Granted a 914-6 will be a little heavier, but would think it will still be a good street combo for most 914's. I turned my Koni's 1-turn less than full dampen.
