Swaybars

Reviving a dead thread!! Finally getting around to the swaybar upgrade on my 2000 Boxster. Very happy with the H&R lowering springs and Koni sport shocks coupled with the OZ wheels and TOYO 888r's. The car feels and drives very stable and planted and lap times are coming down. Ran a personal best of 2.24:35 at VIR last weekend. WHat set-up are you using and what do you recommend?
Background. This is not being prepped for racing, I have a 1986 944 racecar as well. I am simply developing the Boxster for track days without rules as far as moficications. Budget? As always I have my eye on the bottom line, looking for the best bang for the buck. As I did with the springs/shocks, PSS9 didn't make sense after speaking to many that went that way and never make any adjustment, the H&R/Koni setup suits me nicely and I save some cash over fully adjustable.
Thanks in advance for the assist!

I've been running my setup M030 ROW with camber plates for about 9 months now and it feels great.
No perceptible odd tire wear as well in about 7000 miles on the setup.

Maxed out front and rear camber, no toe in front and a smidgen in the back.

FRONT
Toe: 0.0mm left / 0.0mm right
Camber: -2.2 left / -2.2 right

REAR
Toe: -1.75mm left / -1.75mm right
Camber: -2.5 left / -2.5 right

I see you have gone ahead and done your upgrade. Nice to see that you are happy with it and having fun.

For others it may be of interest to know that you may get lucky and find a set of used PSS9 off of eBay for around $1000. It may be a better buy than shopping each part by itself.

I got a set with racing springs and strut mounts included. I do not feel the need (yet) for stiffer sways with these springs.
