    driving with 11mm front sway bar

    Hello All.... My 1968 911 L Targa has a front 11mm sway bar only. I have never driven the car.......
    I added all the provisions for the rear sway bar....
    My question is in regards to just normal/ not racing driving experience............
    how would it be with the 11mm front only setup.
    How would it be if 15mm front only setup.
    And how would it be with 15mm front and 15mm rear setup.
    coni shocks all around..
    Once again the car would be for just normal use and enjoyment, not racing
    thanks
    bob

    Never heard of an 11, I think 15, or maybe 14 was the smallest. May have to look that one up.

    The 11mm stabilizer (part No. 901 343 703 05) was an odd piece and used only on the 1968 911L produced for the USA.

    Have never heard of 11mm stabilizer on an S. What's the source of that info?

    PET '69 version. I take it back. Only refers to "L". Sorry for trying to sound knowledgeable.

    It's in the little spec book, I was curious and checked it today. The 11 was only for the 'L'

    When I bought my 67 912 it had a 13 front and 16 rear. The couple were hard core auto crossers. It wanted to rotate to much for me. I went to 15/15's and now 16/16's. I've been using 16/16's so long I don't remember what the 15/15's felt like. All I can say is I like the 16/16's where I drive in the mountains.
