Thinking of putting sway bars in my 05 turbo s coupe. Are the GT2 bars the same as mine or how about something else? I am looking for no lean in the corners...

 

What suspension you running?

 

Right now: Bone stock;Looking for something a little more. I want to handle a little bit better. I feel that there is too much lean in the turns.I am looking to get a little more edgee in the turns... Will aftermarket sway bars be my cure?

 

i just got sways eibach good stuff

 

Did you feel a difference when you put them on?

 

H&R sways front and rear and a good coil over adjustable suspension will do wonders.

 

I felt the same way. It gets much worse when you get into some added power. When I had the Stage 4 GT/R upgrade I had to make a switch from the ROW springs I had. When you hammered on the gas, the front of the car lifted soo much you felt like you were in a speed boat, not a high performance car. You really need a set of coilovers as well as GT3 adjustable sway bars to tune it in the way you want.

Turbo Performance Center sells some serious sway bars -- 24 and 30mm. They have worked great for me.

Thanks for the input. I am gonna probally try and find someone locally(Long Island NY) who has done Either sway-bars or suspension work to their car..I want to make sure there is a difference from stock before I do anything..

 

I have pss9 and a corner balance and it made a big difference. However ther is still a little initial lean on turn in. Any opinions on just adding the gt3 rear bar or is the front bar different too. I would like a little flatter but not harsher over bumps. Stock is way too soft. Pss9 on 4 front and 3 rear is reasonably comfortable but could be crispened up on turn in a fuzz. Suggestions?

 

GT3 bars are adjustable, both front and rear. Your Pss9 settings are: 4/? and 3/?. You have the front firmer than the rear?

Pss9 set 4 front 3 rear with eibach anti sways front and rear.

 

I have KW v3 coilovers with H&R sways running 18 inch MPSC tires. Took a ramp today and was like WOW no slide just stick and go. It doesn't seem too harsh a ride either.

Sounds like what you might be hearing is.....if your suspension is still 'bone stock'......and you're looking for less 'lean in the turns' that 1st on your list might be better shocks/struts.......then anti-sways.
I'm a big advocate of going adjustable on both the counts. Mike at AWE (board sponsor) could help you. If you have adjustable height shocks (or coil-overs) and adjustable anti-sways (connected with adjustable DLs) you can control & adjust most of what you want on your suspension.
Adjustable DLs allow you to easily change bar setting & easily corner balance after you've set height & rake.
The total difference can be incredible. I would think that many of us probably end up with a fairly tight setting on the rear bar and a tad looser on the front..........together with tire pressure and other adjusts, you can almost forget understeer.

 

Same here, it's like in a speed boat. I have TechArt coil-over, which sway bars would work best for my setup? And how much are Eibach, H&R, TPC, etc.?

TIA.
