Gt3 Sway Bars

Hey guys real quick. Looking for GT3 Sway bars. I emailed a guy at Suncoast and with a 6 speed discount for the sways and bushings it was $500. Does this sound right? I just searched and saw under $300 for the two and bushings and someone got them from Sunset for 140 for the front and 116 for the rear. Can someone clear this up. Thanks

I guess that the prices went up... I actually meant to say Suncoast not Sunset. They had the next best price when I purchased. Best price I found was Brandywine Porsche in PA. But again, prices may have gone up now. Don't forget you will need adjustable drop links up front. I don't remember if the stock rear drop links work or not.

Yea i just got it confirmed Porsche raised the price in Oct on the GT3 Sways. So the 500 with bushings is right. And ironic I looked and Rennlist too and found Paragon and I just emailed them too see if their price went up because they only want 178 and 140 i think. Is that what you are getting them for CHSU?

order it on line before they raise the prices. I have it in my shopping cart but the only thing that is holding back is the size of the bushing as they list 3 sizes. I am leaning towards the 19.?mm because when you click on the GT3 rear sways, that size bushing comes up as part of the package...

Yea no SH*T. Im putting it in RIGHT NOW. Yea I have no clue on those bushings. Let me know what sizes you get. Do you have stock suspension? I read on those bushings its certain sizes for TT and if your car has M030.

BTW, Paragon just emailed me and told me that bushings are included in the price of the sway bars..... That price went to offset the cost of shipping....
