QUOTE(Hans Jan @ Jul 16 2018, 02:45 PM)  So I ended up buying the hollow SRP kit from Travis. It comes with an Aluminum backing plate. This would allow an installation without welding in the reinforcement triangle (which I already ordered from 914ltd). Does the brain trust believe that I could use it that way? Or should I stilll weld in the reinforcement triangle (and not use the sandwich plate)? Just bolting in will work, but it can cause a crack in the tub where the bar passes through. I had this issue on my car. I repaired the crack and welded the support triangle in place. |

Thanks Y’all for helping out with the advise. Will test drive it when the tank is back in (cleaning it now).  Sorry for the picture being sideways. |

Car corners like it's on rails. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
For the person that is reading this, but has not yet installed a front sway-bar, I have to say. DO NOT WAIT ANY LONGER. It's definitely worth the effort (looks scarier than it realy is). Final thanks to Chris at Tangerine, who shipped a part ultra fast for me to complete the work. |

If you are planning on changing the spring rate I would recommending holding off and replacing the rear shocks with a set of Bilsteins first as the ride quality will change drastically. |

??? What just happened ???
I’m surprised that ya’ll are telling me this. I do not even know what type/brand shocks I have. Just tried to find out what spring rate I have. But I will put “new shocks” on my wish-list. |

White shocks are usually KYB, which has gotten a reputation in the 914 world as "Kill Your Back".
As for the spring rate, I can only suggest you remove the springs, and use a scale and some weights to measure how many pounds it takes to compress the springs by a few inches. Divide the pounds by inches and you have the spring rate in inch-pounds... --DD |
