Well what i'll do is go for the GT3 bar and if i hate it, ill go with M030 S for front and sell the GT3 bar.
john's right that you lose a bit of grip unless you set the camber a tad more aggressively. this is because stiffer suspension doesn't compress as much. since the suspension gains camber w/ compression, it doesn't gain as much camber with stiff suspension as with soft, so static camber must be increased. with the H&R bar, though, there is virtually no understeer on full soft and a bit of oversteer on full stiff. this w/ 225 / 265 tire setup. boxster guys that ride w/ me on track are suprised at the total absence of understeer. front camber needs to be about -1.0 to make this work on a street tire.
