GT2 sway bars

Has anyone tried these on a 997TT?
I have looked at several pictures of the GT2 setup and my own car, I can't see why they wouldn't work. The benefit of these over an aftermarket bar is #1 an OEM Porsche part, #2 more adjustability ( 4 and 5 points of adjustment). Does anybody know? I know there are a lot of aftermarket choices, but I really want to make this happen!

hey doug, we use the RSS ones here. They have the same porsche-style fitment so you don't need new/noisier bushings and are made to fit that geometry. The rear GT2 is fine but the front would need some custom front drop links in order to work properly...

I just ordered H&R instead of gt2 I have now.
There is a problem with shape of the front stabilizer so you can't adjust it on 3 point because of front drive shafts.

My understanding is you need the curved droplink made by TRG to use all the adjustments. But the H&R bar is good.
