Sway bar question

If your suspension is stock, would you benefit any handling improvement by getting a set of aftermarket sway bars? Would they effect ride quality?
Thanks.

I think they would help in cornering, the swaybar alone on my Allroad makes a huge differnece, so I would imagine it would help the Porsche. The drawback is that they are twitchy when driving over uneven roads (man hole covers, pot holes, etc).

I upgraded my suspension in phases: wheels, coilovers, then sways added last.

The Sways added the final handling component and really keep the car flat during transitions. I highly recommend them.

I think the majority of the folks here are using either H&R or the Porsche GT3 sways. Both are adjustable and more solid when compared to the stock 997 sways, which are hollow.

I have the H&R's.

I have H&R's, I have heard that the GT3 bars require a bunch of extra parts, but I am not 100% certain of that.
