conversion to 911 underbody front sway bar, what parts do I need Options

[shuie]

I want to install a later style 911 sway bar on my '71 914. I am not going to 5 lug and I do not want to get into changing the struts on my '71 or swapping an entire 911 front suspension onto the car. I just want to use the later 911 under the body sway bar with the early 914 struts & non vented brakes.

I know I need the tabs for the A-arms. Can I use the 911 A-arms and keep my early struts? Will the early 914 balljoints work in the 911 A-arms? Do I need the aluminum cross member from the 911?

TIA

In all the cars I've played with, I have never seen a stock bar setup that is adjustable. I know .... mute point.

The only time I've used an adjustable bar was on race cars to tailor the car to the track and driver style. For a street car, it is a waste of money (unless it's cheaper than the stock setups).

I've built a couple of cars with the under body style (complete SC front end) and would do it again in a heartbeat. They cornered flat ... real flat and driveabilty was excellent as far as I was concerned.

My current six has the stock thru body and I have considered putting an under body on it as I think the under body set up is better. The only drawback is that the rack/master cylinder cover pan doesn't fit.

And so that's better? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

I don't like the underbody 911 sway bars on a 914.
Not only is it non-adjustable for stiffness and for pre-load, it interferes with servicing the suspension and steering.

With the stiffer bar and the stiffer torsion bars in the 911 a-arms, the car will understeer like a pig unless you use at least 140lb rear springs.

Thru-body style is superior IMO.
Stock anti-sway bars are the bomb on a stock-ish street 914.
