A friend has told me, rear sway bars are suppose to be bad and many people remove them. He says he has heard this from others.
Are rear sway bars good or bad? One of my 914s has the front factory sway bar but no rear sway bar. I have purchased front and rear aftermarket sway bars for one of my vehicles which currently has none, though I have not added them yet. I have also purchased a rear aftermarket sway bar to put on the one that has only the front factory sway bar. Since 914s were designed by Porsche, I find it hard to believe they made a mistake on suspension and handling. These are the things Porsche is famous for. Does anyone have experience with and without rear sway bars and knows. Thank you. |

Does anyone still sell rear bars? Thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). This is the picture I see. The only bars that seem available are the occasional used ones, factory or sometimes a Weltmeister, and for new, an Addco. Maybe just haven't turned over enough stones, but can't find any other options. Even started looking into how to make a custom bar, but everyone says proper tempering of the metal is almost impossible to do at home. One would think that with the latest 914 enthusiasm over the past few years there would be a some nice aftermarket choices available. Would love a rear bar that was adjustable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Dan |
