I'm working on something for the front sway bar on 944s. If someone could upload a few images it would be really helpful.

Particularly:

- Looking from the front end straight back (showing the position of the sway in regards to the engine above it and the tie rods above the control arms)
- 45 degree angled shot looking up from the front.

Early 924's, early 944's and later 944's front sway bars have different means of attachment to the A-arm. None of which would use the drop links you show. Nowever, these would fit on the rear sway bar.

Front aluminum a-arm:

I know, I went through 4 different swaybars on my first 944.

I'm have devised a system which will fit the swaybar over the control arms and will utilize shorter (triangulated) center mounts. The bar itself will also be flipped.

I just need to know how much I can bring the bar up vertically. Wouldn't be asking this if I still had a 944.

Thanks anyways though.

As funny as it is - it's surprisingly similar, even though I didn't even have the weltmeister in mind. Problem with the OE design is that ground clearance gets tight with what I want to do...

Oh well, at least I'll be milling some of my own parts.
