My '74 914/6 build does not have one. The fuel tank is currently out. Now would be the time to do this, right?

Any tips on diameter for a fast road street car?

Thanks for the discussion.

Eric - I am asking about the 914/6 that I'm building, it will be used for high-speed touring bands up and down the West Coast. I generally don't track my cars but it will be used in the spirited manner on back country and canyon roads

You should drive in a number of set ups if you can, and see what you like. The sway bar is just one part of the equation. I personally think you can get more feedback and fun from turbo tie rods, roller bearings, struts and tire selection. You put on a big adjustable bar and then put it on full soft?

All it takes is money!
