Do I need Gt2/Gt3 Stabilizers with PSS9

PSS-9 with front* and rear GT2/GT3 stabilizers:
Price : 2.599 Euro Dollar Conversion
(*)It is required to use special front drop links with the GT3 stabilizer.
Can lower the car from stock height up to 50 mm.
Comes with 2 drop links for the front.


I guess stabilizers are sway bars

If I don't track the car but want it significantly lowered, I see Gert (above)has two different versions with and without, If I have already bought the standard Pss9's. I guess I can just add the stabiizers and drop links to these, on fitting ?

You can just get the rear sway bar instead of messing around with the drop links for the front sway bar. It's an easy install and adjustable as well.

thks buts whats wrong with the existing TT sway bar or does it simply not have one ? If I set my Pss9s up with 3 front and 3 rear setting what is appropriate for the REAR ONLY GT3 sway bar the middle hole/setting ?

After talking with several folks in the know (including Sharkey),
I added H&R rear sway bar (adjustable), after I already had my
Cross JIC suspension installed. Initial turn-in improved as well as
reducing the understeer. My car became more fun to drive (as well
as a little more tail happy on the track when PSM is turned off).
I would highly recommend it. Front sway bar replacement is not needed.

I did the same thing with PSS9 set at 3 in front and 2 at the rear. Replaced the rear sway bar with H&R (30 mins) at middle setting. Took almost all the understeer out. I would not get the GT3 sways bars because of the need for new drop links.

since his concern is with "lowering" and not tracking, the stock units should be fine, why bother on a street car for looks. the suspension has already been upgraded enough for street use, IMO

I run JIC's on the street would I benefit from GT3 sways, end links and rear control arms?

these cars all will benefit from the rear sway upgrade and hell camber plates for that matter but it really comes down to what the car is for.
If street, PSS9's are a great upgrade, period. can you keep doing more to it and make the car handle better, yes, necessary not really.
so first ask yourself what you want to do with the car.
If real handling is in your future you may want to go the JIC route with at least rear sway.
Of course full track stuff you could end up spending close to 10k, ask me I know!

I will have FULL JRZ clubsport RSpro suspension finished by Thursday or Friday this week...with rear sway upgrade...ill let ya know how much harsher it is then the H&R PCS I have on my M...haha...



Like Tom said, for your purposes...I would go with PSS9 and just leave it at that...

Do the swaybar/s , they made a huge difference in even stiffening up my aftermarket suspension/car

So you guys think H&R's are better than GT3 sways? Only do the rear sways no fronts? For a very agressive street driven car. I may do a occassional track event.

thks guys, the TT would appear to have a rear sway bar OEM anyway. its just not adjustable like a GT3 one right and a GT3 one on the middle setting is shorter or realigns the the angle of wheels somehow I guess ?

I set my adjustable GT3 bar on the stiffest setting.
