The rear sway bar is a bit controversial on 914s.

A stock car can be OK with it, as long as it has the stock front sway bar. A car with a more "advanced" suspension typically will do better without it, and make up the rear roll stiffness with the rear springs instead.

The rear bar can lift the inside rear wheel, resulting in a loss of traction under power. The bar can also hit the rear trunk floor, which results in instant oversteer. Not really happy... But neither one is much of an issue in a bone-stock car.

I tried my stock 2.0 both with and without the rear bar attached. I preferred it with the bar. When I put uprated springs and a bigger front swaybar in, the rear bar went. Too much oversteer with it in place.
