Full Version: Under-body AND through-body sway bar?

My new 914 has front and rear sway bars.. the Carrera suspension I plan to put on it has a built in sway bar. Can I use both to have an effectively larger sway bar? Also, should I use the rear sway bar or take it off? (I've heard they don't do much for you)

i see no reason why it wouldn't work, is the thru-the-body swaybar adjustable?

that is what you'd want for sure since the under-the-body bar is not adjustable

if you have to buy anything new for this proposed combo, you might as well pony up and buy a bigger new thru-the-body swaybar..Tarett or SmartRacing

I think all I'd have to do is weld tabs onto the a-arms. I don't think the bar is adjustable, it's just a stock bar. I would of course get something adjustable if I bought something new.

I know that you have access to a machine shop bondo, you could very easily make the through-body sway bar adjustable by fabricating something. Its amazing how much places charge for the bits that attach to the sway bar. The bars alone are not that expensive...

yupp, you can make your own droplinks and slider ...

the underbody bar would give you a certain "preload" and if you make the through-bar adjusteable, you can finetune your settings.

don't see any reason why this shouldn't work ...
