Can anyone explain why my North American sold 1974 2.0, has no front or rear sway bars. Was Porsche so confident that 4 cilinder cars could handle the use without bars?

Is it only an American thing? Did Euro models also came without. Was it an option?

My car leans badly, I am in the process of getting bilstein B6 shocks installed, but anyway, I see 914 cars with bars everywhere and mine has a big NOTHING to stop body lean…
I still love it, buy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Any comments?
