Hey everybody

I have been lurking around here searching out some posts on what I am going to do with my 914 and reading all the enthusiatic posts has really made me get out there and do something, so after 6 years years my car is back on the road, lookingf a bit different and I lowered the front end at the weekend (took 2 mins, after lookin out some old posts - thanks guys).

So I have front and rear weltmeister sway bars I got about 3 years ago and a set of red Konis and uprated springs. I want to fit the weltmeisters but have no instructions and dont even know if the kit is complete, can anyone help me out with this?

Very easy, I searched old posts by searching for "lowered front end"and found one with a pic of the front suspension. There is a 11mm nut on each leg on the underside of the suspension, turn this as if slackening it, I did 2 turns each side and closed the gap from tyre to wing by about 1.5 inches took 5 mins.

Call Weltmeister at 800-588-7448 and ask them for the component list for the items in the kit. That's where I would start.

Thanks Kaptkaos, is there a code I should use or email address (I live in Scotland UK) so email would be easier.

Thanks

www.weltmeister.com is the website. I am sure that they have an email contact there.

I think the country code of the US is 01, but I am not certain.

You can also look here:

Can't help with the front but I asked this question about the rear a few months back. Some pictures and links to a scan of the rear instructions.

Welt Rear Sway

Good luck!

Pelican has a Tech Article on front sway bar installation. I don't know if it talks about what makes a "complete" Welt kit or not, but it is a good step-by-step guide.

I think this place is awsome I love that there are no issues with what you do as long as you are into 914s and the wealth of info is amazing. hopefully I can contribute something at some point

Good luck with the lowering, it makes a huge difference to the appearance (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)
