All out of swaybars(make them in small runs), drop me an email about the dampers.

did you put them on yourself or in the shop?

I stil wonder if it is really required to disconnect coolant pipes in order to take off front sway bar or not?

I had them installed at the same time as the CO's, it took less then 1 hour to install them (or so I was billed for).

I've had the car on a hoist multiple times and can't remember seeing anything involving coolant pipes/hoses over sway bars.

I've had JIC's on my turbo for almost 2 years and they are great. 24k miles, some DE. No issues.

It is such a PITA to take off all the protective plastic pieces, I really do not want to mess with removal of all those things wihtout lift just to find out I have to drain all the coolant off in order to get to cross member where bar is mounted. I have GT3 fron bar in the garage already, just waiting to put it on.

To OP - going with aftermarket components is fine and TPC stuff is top notch. For me this season I still have not decided if I want to get into improved class or remain in 'production stock' (or 'street prepared') - that auto-x class allows you to interchange any stock Porsche parts from different years/models - read - you can get installed any GT3 parts on your car and remain in 'production stock'.

But as soon as you install aftermarket - TPC/H&R sway bars, PSS/JIC/Moton coilovers - you get into 'improved' class where you may not be competitive at all (as most experienced folks are there already ) , or even may get into 'modified' class depending of how far you will go (TPC turbo) - and there you`ll have to compete with stripped cup cars where you will have no chances at all. So it is all relative in what you gain and what you loose. For DEs alone all that class business does not matter much.

Still, if you are ready and want to run on hoosiers - you will benefit from proper stiff coilovers big time.
