I am really appreciating all the input, even if I don't get the chance to comment on each post.
I found the GT3 front sway bar comment from someone else who said they really liked it. It was a 987 and I see fuhrius has a 986 pictured as your avatar.
Which GT3 bar is being used? I talked to my parts Buddy (that's his name, too!) and he had no idea which model GT3 front bar would fit either 986 or 987. He didn't say he didn't think one would fit, just that he had no idea of a proper part number to order one or get me a price.
I feel the usual need to start looking at the compromise that's right for how I use my car. From what I am seeing the Eibach springs are lower than I want to go, considering the roads I need to negotiate in our travels. The springs being offered by Brumos lower the car 20mm (3/4" plus a touch) and the car can still be aligned to proper specs. This may also be a benefit of 987 suspension.
The other comment I found loved the reduction of low speed understeer, but said the car's nuetral attitude in faster turns did not seem effected. Lowering itself should help the weight transfer/roll center, if I understand the geometry of 987 McPherson correctly, and a stiffer front bar sometimes works to increase understeer, rather than decrease. I've had it work both ways, depending on where in the traction curve you're starting. Remember, too little weight on a tire can result in traction loss the same as too much. Considering the throttle modulation exercise we did at Brumos U, I would say the stiffer bar will increase front traction.......but I've been WAY wrong before!!
