I installed the Eibach sport sway bars front and rear. Rear has 3 holes for adjustability, I put it on the middle hole. Rest of suspension is stock. Wheels are 17 in staggered Boxster twists with Hankook Ventus RS-3s. I was able to get 1.8 neg camber on rear wheels. Fronts I slotted and got -2.0 degrees camber. I didn't want to do the camber plates that lifts the front some more, and I didn't want to spend $$$ with adjustable LCAs, or $2.5K on PSS9 coilovers. Iconsidered lowering springs, but concluded that those springs are not meant to work with the stock strut. I drive this car to work occasionally, so I didn't want to lower it.

I have 2 DEs and 1 AutoX on this setup, and I can tell you that sway bars made a HUGE improvement. Much less body roll, more grip, quicker response. The front camber also made a significant improvement, especially at the AutoX and more uniform tire wear.
