Insite's got a VERY stiff suspension set-up and only uses the softest setting on the GT3 bar. Even though the GT3 is a lightened Carrera, it's still 150+ pounds heavier than a Boxster. It looks to me that you'd have more adjustability and still have a very stiff system with H&R front and rear.

the H&R bar is really almost as stiff as the GT3 bar. it's actually got the same number of usable adjustment settings as the GT3 bar. the H&R has three settings. the GT3 bar has five, but you really can only use three on the Box or 996 because the pick up points are different than the GT3. on our cars, the stiffest 2 settings of the GT3 bar cause the sway to actually bend rather than twist. it's hell on the power steering pump and gives some VERY funky steering feedback on the stiffest setting.

Addco also makes a set of bars. There are plenty of options out there, but you don't necessarily need to go with the stiffest you can find. Remember, stiffer bars actually REDUCE grip without changes to anything else and will somewhat effect everyday driveability, so you have to first decide what you're doing with the car before you pick the sway bar set and suspension you want.
