Just got home from a little vacation with the family, went to pull the teener out to take to the store and noticed that the pass side front was extremely low to the ground. Checked the height adjuster and it it loose, I can move it by hand, so I can only assume that the torsion bar has snapped. Good thing it happened in my garage I guess. Seems kind of wierd that it would just go like that.
Anyhow, what size bars should I get? Its a SBC car with 200# springs in back, mostly a street car with an occasional trip to the track. I have a 19 mm sway bar in the front as well. I liked the way it rode/handled with the stock bars. It has the stock 914 suspension with 911 struts. Any sources? Any tips for the removal/intstallation? Will any 911 bars go right back in there? Thanks Mark Attached image(s)
