I believe, if I’m not mistaken, there was a 13mm front sway bar for the 912 cars.. and I was wondering if that wouldn’t be more appropriate for a 1.7L 914 rather than the stock oem 15mm. I’m not sure if anyone bothers with a ARB on a 1.7L, but the 13mm ones are fairly easy to come by, cause everyone upgrades to bigger. So that’s a plus. Thoughts?

Thoughts? . porsche thought they were. and fitted them to just about all the 74 1.8s after they got full control of the project. i'd have to look up whats in mine, but its standard out of the box since new. front and rear sway bars. 74 1.8. i ain't got no complaints. its sweet. |
