Just wondering if anyone else is using one of these? It's an adjustble bar between the top of the shock towers in the trunk.

Back in the day those were advertised as the latest and greatest way to improve handling by reducing the weight of the driver's wallet.
they serve absolutely no purpose as installed. a bigger benefit is gained by actually welding the shock towers to the inner fenders by opening up the boxes on either side. I'm sure you can search for what I speak of. By the way, the upper shock mounts in the rear of a 914 play virtually no role in the alignment of the rear of these cars. The trailing arm mounts and bushings do all the work. |
