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? |

My totally unscientific experience with sway bars comes from
back in the 70’s. There was a road in a city nearby they called “the Waves” and without bars on my 6 I could get through the “waves at around the 60 mph before the car started to feel squirrelly.. I bought an H+H front bar and went back... Now I could go around 70 and the front felt fine, but the back of the car started getting loose. Went back and bought the rear bar and then I could push closer to 80. The interesting thing I learned though was that when you push the car beyond the limits of the bars, it came out FAST and totally unpredictable. You were just along for the ride at that point.. I never hit anything, but I did spin the car a few times. The guy that owner H+H lived 2 towns away and I drove to his house to buy the bars.. |
