Starting friday I will be pulling the suspension off the 914 and

- installing Koni sports all around with the fully adj perches in the rear

-new poly bushings all around (from weltmeister...street compound)

-turbo tie rod kit

-new ball joints

...anyway...this is the last part of the 914 that I haven't pulled off the car yet, so its time. any, tips, hints that you have will be much appreciated. I am going to be doing this with the help of a lift and plenty of tools...so I am hoping to knock this out over the weekend...doable?

Thanks,

Tony
