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?

.. to clarify - far as i know its 15 front and 16 rear. i could try and double check that. i didn't mean it had 13 mm sway bars. i meant it had front and rear sway bars, not just a front one... Yes that helps, cause you had me confused and thinking 1.8L had a bar I’d never heard of being installed. Thanks again. And just a side note, while we’re on the subject… the /6 cars apparently (and eventually) came with a 16mm at front and a 15mm at back - so opposite the stock /4 set up… I suppose that’s because of the extra weight of the engine and nothing to do with a power increase over the /4, as super hawk has explained. . |
