What swaybars compliment the PSS9 coilover kit? Mainly for street use and little track....on a 99 C2
Stock
GT3
H&R

I am not sure how they compare to the stock GT3 bars, but you shouldn't rule out the stock sport sways that come with the M030 and X74 factory suspenions (both kits use same bars). I would think they might be a good fit with the PSS9. If it matters, they are not adjustable.

 

GT3 sway bars are a good option. They are adjustable so you can change the configuration as needed. They'll require sway bar links though. I think you can get the sway bars from sunset for under $300 and TRG drop links for a $500. This set up works great at the track and at AX events.

 

whichever ones you go for, after installing them, have the mechanic take a look at your drive shafts after a few hundred miles to make sure nothing is rubbing... my mechanic just found that my drop links wtih my GT3 swap bars were a little too short and there was rubbing on both front drive axles =(

 

I really like the GT3 bars - adjustable - but you will need adjustable droplinks with just about every aftermarket sway bar that is adjustable...would give you all of the adjustability of the PSS9 plus you'd have four settings in the rear and five in the front to play with...

 

Does anyone have a part number for M030 Sway bars? Can anyone confirm that they'll work with PSS9? Would adjustable droplinks still be necessary?

 

Here are the numbers that came off of my MY00 C2 ROW Stabilisers:
Front: 996.343.701.21
Rear: 996.333.701.26

Call Pelican/Suncoast/Sunset to confirm as part numbers sometimes change and parts get superceded - or the MY99 might have a different number. They will probably run around $600 altogether.

*They will work with PSS9.
*You will not need adjustable drop links, they just bolt right in.

The sizes are:
OEM: front: 23.1, rear: 18.5
ROW M030: front: 23.6, rear: 19.6
GT3 front: 26.7, rear: 20.8 [~$1000 with links]
HR = front 26 mm; rear 23 mm [~$750 - no links required]

A .5 mm increase (from stock to ROW) creates a ~10% increase in stiffness. And a 1.1 mm increase creates a ~25% increase. The GT3 increase (rear) is 2.3mm, and (front) is 4.6mm over stock. I think this equates to rear= 60% and stiffer and front =78% stiffer. My math could be off, and disregards thickness, but you get the idea.

There used to be a great article by the PCA on ROW vs USA M03, but the link no longer works ;(

I am very happy with my H&R's!

Set front soft, rear medium.

 

I have a set of US M030 sways.. Complete with drop links and appropriate bushings. If you are interested PM me and I'll think of a price to get them out of my storage

 

me too

 

Thanks guys - now you have me thinking that H&Rs are the way to go. So do I read correctly that no aftermarket droplinks required for H&Rs?

 

I am going with H&R's with my PSS10's. No aftermarket drop links required. They will work with your current links.

 

yes no Droplinks needed

 

Thanks guys! Damon at Tirerack hooked me up with H&Rs yesterday. Adios body roll!

 

How much is Damon selling them for?
