just got a 911sc front end with a underbody sway, about 19mm, didnt check yet.

I have a 19mm thru body on the car.

Options:
- use the underbody as is
- put new u-tabs on the 911 control arms and use thru body.
- mix match 914/control arms with the 911 front???? Can I keep the 19mm torsions that way??

I gotta feeling the answer is cut and weld but thought I'd ask...

Try it as it is, (not at all hard to do, just bolt it up) you might like it. Not a big deal to tie your existing arms up out of the way for a trial period. If the front end is too stiff for your rear set up, you could:

1. stiffen the rear (stiffer springs). I do not use rear anti-sway bar on our 914, just very stiff springs.

2. cut off the hoops and weld tabs on the 911 a arms, and reconnect your existing anti-sway bars which, if aftermarket, are adjustable, and can be strengthened or weakend based on arm length. The only advantage to the "through the body" anti-sway bar it its adjustability.
