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?

I do not feel it is a fair comparison between a 912 and a 914. The 912 has a torsion bar rear suspension, while the 914 has coil over shocks. Both systems have very different handling characteristics. My 76 came with both front and rear sway bars. While my 73 has zero bars. It is my understanding that most, if not all early car did not come with them.
