I am looking for a new set of springs for my car. I have PM'd back and forth with Eric at PMB and he suggested 140 pound progressive springs. I plan to purchase new Bilstien shocks and struts from PMB but he doesn't sell the springs. I have looked around at the various 914 vendors but I haven't found the springs. Any suggestions?

I'm not that fond of progressive springs, as they can change the balance of the car as they compress. But 140s are pretty good for a 914 with an uprated front sway bar or uprated front torsion bars.
GPR should be able to get them. Pelican might. Paragon should be able to get them as well. --DD |

Automotion should still sell them. Otherwise I have an extra pair that I will sell for $50.00 plus shipping. I upgraded my car to 175 lb springs when I installed the heavier 915 gear box, so I no longer need them.

I'm always a day late! Anyone else have 140 shocks or upgraded Koni shocks. Heck I'll even try coil overs?

Nope already sold them to A&P Mech. They were 140lbs. There not that expensive from Automotion. http://www.automotion.com/weltmeister-914-...or-porsche.html http://www.automotion.com/weltmeister-914-...or-porsche.html Sometimes I have seen them as low as $89.00 on there sight. |
