Thinking of doing a refresh of my front shocks and rear shocks/springs. All are very old though function fine. Sure I’ll see improvements in corners and ride.
Thinking of Bilsteins. Any suggested best choices? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) 74 1.8L Very stock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Just local drives and some hill curves; no track or auto cross. |

Or you could go with the AA route where they had shock absorbers made close to the factory spec Boge shock. I decided to go with the 914Rubber rear springs. |
