Jim,
If you're happy with how the car is handling now then no need to mess with it further. The GT3 bar is great that it allows you a level of tuning not possible otherwise and that becomes especially important if you track your car as even different tires will give you a different balance, especially as they wear. Having a way to adjust that out is key. But bottom line is, if you're happy as is, don't mess with a good thing. If it was me, well....

I'd buy one if you can find me one for 100, can't imagine freight costing that much.
I'd buy you a 24 pack of beer when l'm visiting the states next time, we call them slabs of beer over here.

Thank you 02996ttx50 I've been advised to make sure its true and straight , as there are a few that have been bent through collisions.

Best way to check is flat on the ground, you should be able to see any issues then.

Snapped at the flange, sorry to hear that. That next sway bar is now for you.

Yeah I might give the parts a bit of a break for now, hope the roos give me a break as well. I've had many close calls with them, clipped one and now hit one. Hopefully this sonic animal guard will make all the difference.

No, no I'm not listening and I'm not getting that wavetrac........

no! i replaced my gt3 sway within a cpl days! cant live w/out it! i just bought a used oem to use for the few days while i waited for my buddy to bring by the ( 2nd ) gt3 bar.

you MUST get the gt3 bar and the wavetrac if you wanna hang with the middle school kids lol.

but marriage preservation might be well advised at this juncture you must be setback MIN! $5k on this coilover deal. i can see the wisdom of waiting until... next spring LOL
