Sway bars

[tommy583]

Will S model sway bars fit on a base? If so is it worth changing them?

Better to go for m030 ROW in front leave standard in rear I think it was. There is a good thread disscusion on suspensions.

Yes, the S front sway bar will fit the Base model. The front S sway is 21% stiffer than the Base stock sway. The M030 is 9% stiffer.

The 996 GT-3 sway bar in the front and the Tarett 986 sway bar in the rear are both adjustable. As you can see from the chart below, the front GT-3 sway is 66% to 225% stiffer than the Base sway (depending on the setting).

Do a search and/or ask for feedback from the Forum to find which sway bar will meet your needs best.

Great chart. I have an S with standard, plan on ROW M030 set up next year. But this chart will help comparing sway bars too.

Tom, unless im reading it wrong, the standard s swaybar is only 5% stiffer than the base bar. The m030 s bar is 21% stiffer

Also, not sure i am reading correctly the rear S ie 3.2l standard is same diameter as the non S. So am i reading this correctly?

Yeah, I kind of screwed that up.

The base M030 is the same as the standard S and both are 9% stiffer than the base bar.

The M030 S is 21% stiffer than the base bar.

Yes, the rear base and S are the same bar.

I have a base 987 rear sway bar on mine. It's cheaper and easier to find than a M030
