I have the 914SP kit from Belltech. I got it on sale from summit racing for $440. Right now it's running $759. This is an outstanding kit to say the least. Far better than the DJM kit it even makes the proper modification to the driveshaft angle. Ride and handling are outstanding. You can save about $200 by using the 908SP kit. Same as 914SP except it uses your stock coil springs up front. I personally like the aggessive springs that came with mine.

Check it out I found the 914SP on sale. Not as cheap as I got it but having the kit it's well worth it.

The front is adjustable from 1-3" in 1/2" increments. The rear can be adjusted with shackles, a fwd leaf spring bracket, or by simply redrilling the fwd leaf mounts. I did this on mine which allowed me to keep my traction bars.

How the ride? Is it stiff, hard, soft. Does it feel like a race car.? I like the stock ride, but don't know what it would feel like changed.
