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? |

The sixes were tail happy so in 1971 when they finally offered sway bars on the sixes they installed 16 in the front and 15 the rear. that gave the sixes less oversteer
The fours were under steer cars, so for the 1973 models when the factory offered sway bars they installed a 15 in the front and a 16 in the rear to make the cars turn better also the rear springs were different for the cars. Although the same height the sixes had thicker coils than the fours. The factory knew what they were doing, if you set your car up with the correct combination of springs sway bars (in addition to the correct factory torsion bars and bilstein hd gas shocks you will be all set. NO REASON to go overboard unless you are taking your very valuable 914-6 up to the track to abuse it! (LOL) QUOTE(Tdskip @ Feb 21 2018, 06:45 AM)  My '74 914/6 build does not have one.
