GT3 rear sway bar install.

Hi guys I need some help. I dropped off a GT3 sway bar to be installed with the Tarett droplinks and just got a call that the bar will not fit, something to the effect that it hits the control arm and pinches between the transmission and subframe??

Any insight is appreciated.

Early 01's are different then the late 01' - 05'. Is the flat aluminum cross bar straight or does it have a kick in it?

Sorry that is the GT3 bar, it is just slightly different in shape than the stock sway bar.

Will check the cross bar tomorrow.

The 997 gt3 sway will not fit. It utilizes different sway link attach points. If you fit a 997 rear carrier it may work. But you may also need the subframe also.

I have a 996 gt3 sway bar. also you can make off set plates to make the mounting points work, not sure about the drop links tho.

They'll fit Saadi. However, if I were you and had a choice, I'd go with the factory GT3 bars. Porsche got it right with those. They'll bolt right up since you don't have the front diff/axles.
