Can anyone confirm that this swaybar and A arm setup will work with 72 911 suspension? Attached Image

That set up is 74-up 911. Not recommend unless you are going racing. Bar is way to stiff for everyday use.

However it was used as stock in 911s. Were they also too stiff?

I do not want to make a mistake.

Thanks!

The compatible of the bar depends on the sum of all the suspension components and car configuration and use. Underbody sway bars come in 20 and 22mm. Due to the different fulcrum pivot distances the 20mm underbody is not as stiff as a 20mm through body sway bar.
If you go with the 911 torsion bars you now have stiffer torsion bars. Rear springs should probably be stiffer than stock.
From my experience a 20mm is not too stiff for the street.
If you want to stay with stock six torsion bars I have a pair that are from a SWB 911 and are the same size as 914 but will work in the 911 A arms with the loops for the sway bar.
