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...
