Hi, can anyone tell me if the sway bar kit that lets you use a non though body sway bar work as well as the factory? Any info please email me back. I have a 71 914 and the front control arms have the U brackets. Thanks, Don

When the factory first started racing 914s in the USA, the SCCA did not allow you to drill through the chassis to install sway bars, so Richie Ginther and the other SCCA national racers had to put an underbody swaybar on the cars. Not as efficient as the through the body type, but Porsche went with a similar design on the mid 70s 911s as well.
If you have the brackets, go with a through the body type to get the adustability. Just be sure to weld in the proper mounting brackets for the area that the bar goes though the chassis. Any of the aftermarket bars (Weltmeister, etc.) are quite good and you should be happy with them. The original factory setup is also excellent, but lacks the adjustability of the aftermarket ones. |
