Have a beer, I know you deserve it
I finished the front susp. on the 911 yesterday
(swaybar, bigger t-bars, new bushings)
working on the rear right now
(I like the rear susp. of the 914 a LOT better, it's much easier)
cheers,

Just got back from the test spin It works and what a difference How did I do without
I'll be doin' the rears as soon as I get time & learn what the setting is for the welder for this metal. I have a wire feed in the shop at work that I'll either bring home or just do it there.
If this just made it 100% better then the rears must do another 100%. (cool! then I'll just float around the corners, eh?)
All I gotta say is "what a car"

Bruce, I wouldn't bother with the rear. More hassle than it's worth IMHO.

Way to go Bruce! Now you wont be dragging your nice shiny door handles along the ground when you take hard turns! See ya tommorow
Do you guys feel that a rear bar on a stock suspended 914 is not needed? I would think that if everything was stock, a rear bar waould help. Maybe I am not knowing....??
I like the rear bar. I like to run my noses a little lower than the rears, they take up the lil wiggle on transitions. If you like to snap the car around, prolly better without them.
It feels like the car holds energy better with them, like the Force is with you.

The install of the rear doesn't look any harder than the front, actually it appears easier but I thought the front was going to be a piece of cake Don't get me wrong... the front wasn't that bad. Going into a project for the first time is always eye opening with surprises
All i all, it was enjoyable. I found the link for welding in another posting by (I think) it was John of Ghia Specialties. Got it copied & ready to read it thoroughly
Chris, glad to hear you will be down tomorrow. Try to drag Geoff & Kevin too.....

I found that there wasn't a whole lot of difference on my car. It rotated a little better with the bar in place, but that was it. I preferred the handling of the car with the stock suspension and with the stock front and rear bars, but I don't think the difference was great enough to bother breaking out the welder.
And once I started upgrading the suspension, the rear bar was way overkill and was removed.
