The front bar is always bigger than the rear bar on 914's so all is as it should be in that respect. The rear is usually hung on the wall since 914's have such a low center of gravity. All depends on what your car weighs and where the weigh is with respect to your springs and shocks... which are a type of springs.
- What engine do you have?
- What year car is it?
- What do you intend to do with it?
- Are there any modifications to the suspension that you can see, or do you not know what to look for?
Others will chime in on which are the stock sway bar sizes, but they have to be integrated into the front torsion bars (19mm) and the rear spring sizes (100#s?), which I never had.
There's more here we need to know.
Good luck!
I know the front will be larger (on almost every car) but the difference between these is greater than I was expecting.
The engine will be a 1911 with about 8.5:1 compression, hotter than stock cam and HPMX 40s.
1974
Street and occasional autocross.
Suspension is stock as far as I can tell. I haven't pulled the torsion bars but right now there are no sway bars, so I expect stock there as well. I will be running 195/65-15 tires, brand unknown at this time (a lot of work to do before it is on the road)
I may upgrade the springs/torsion bars and shocks, as I am not a light weight and tend to push a car a little harder than I should.
