Thanks for the feedback Brad. That had been my plan is to go GT3 front and Tarett rear, so I'm already purchasing a GT3 bar from someone on this board. It's nice to get your feedback along these lines. I'll hit you up when I'm ready to buy the Tarett. Just to confirm, the rear bar does come with the drop links, right?
Adjustable sway bars don't scare me so much as I just have a very somber respect for them. Back in 2000 I moved from an Escort station wagon to my first "sporty" car, a FWD Eclipse V6 GT. To balance out the push from the FWD setup I added an adjustable rear bar and I think I had it set to full stiff on the road (more is better mentality). Coming home from work one day I was taking the twisties fast and the rear end got loose on some gravel. One snap oversteer later and I was heading down the road backwards. I slammed into a tree at 50 mph, totaled the car, and very, very luckily walked away from the accident. I'm pretty well convinced that I did that to myself with that rear bar.
So.... I'm going to delve back into adjustable bars on my Boxster, but I'm going to use some extreme caution, start out full soft and work my way up, balance front to rear, and test the different setups under CONTROLLED situations (autoX and track days). Should be fun!
