Hi 914world members,
I have researched the topic of rear sway bar hitting the trunk on lowered cars on this forum (thank you all for sharing!) This is the case for my 914 - and it appears that the "easy" fix is to turn the sway bar upside down (or reverse it.) . I wanted to post pictures of my current installation to ensure that this would be the fix for me. Opinions/recommendations welcome. Also - level of effort/complexity related to the fix and anything else I should be addressing during the fix. Thank you in advance for your assistance! Cheers, Tony   |

My earlier comment applies to a stock suspension and car weight - do not need a rear bar for street driving.jn

I love a rear bar on a street car. Really fun. Definitely improves a stock-ish car with mild spring rates. (140)

Thank you to everyone for their feedback. Given some of the compounding issues highlighted, this has become more than what I am
comfortable with. Will seek some additional local help to resolve. Thank you everyone! Tony. |
