Hey all,
This is for my fabricated front sway bar. What is the range of adjustability of the standard adjustable drop links (welt, tarret, smart, etc.) from the center of one hole to the center of the other hole? Another quick question... How does this range work for slightly lowered 914's? Should they be any shorter/longer? I'm having some parts machined and i don't have my 914 around to measure. Gotta love the campus machine shop, they're doing the work for free! thanks in advance, David |

David,
My car is lowered with the suspension arms horizontal. My drop-links were cut-down so that the sway-bar arms are horizontal at rest. This is the ideal geometry. I just went out and measured them and they are exactly 7" center to center. Big 'ol vsq914 disclaimer: This works on my car - might not be ideal on yours. You'll have to determine for yourself. Here's my thought. You know where the center of the swaybar will be mounted in the body. Mark a horizontal line on the inner fender forward from that point. If you have your ride-height set already you should be able to measure the distance from your droplink mount up to the line you marked and there you go. -Ben M. (a little chilly from laying in the snow measuring drop-links at 10pm/15F) |
