Who has the best zero noise sway bar solution for the PDK 997.2? I've searched on the forum and some members complain of clunking, squeaks and other oddities while others claim zero noise or the noise being an install issue. The search brings up a lot of threads on .1 cars however and not much on .2 PDK cars.

 

Probably the OEM RS sways. I'm not at that point yet but will be having BBi do their suspension magic. I'll ask Betim and let you know
I don't think .1 would be much different setup than .2 to be honest so whatever you are reading would likely carry over

 

Chris is correct, Joey from BBI recommends the OEM GT3 RS sway bars for the 997.2 Turbo cars. My car has a lot of body roll even with the coils and so I'm looking forward to increasing the effective spring rate and compliance with these.

 

Would that be front and rear gt3 bars? Do they clear the pdk cradle? I read that was the biggest difference between the .1 and .2 cars. Some rear bars fit on the .1 but not the .2 pdk cars due to interference with the engine cradle.

 

I believe BBi makes their own spacers for this. There are pics on their fb page of the yellow tts that raced Pikes Peak

 

I would call the folks at GMG and ask them your specific questions. Although partial to their set-up, I'm certain they'll offer some good tips.

Isnt the noise some ppl get not from the actual sways but rather the AM bushings used?

I think Cannga used his oem bushings to not have to worry...

 

I thought you were supposed to grease the bushings so they don't squeak.. Otherwise its metal on rubber and it will squeak regardless.


Unless we are talking about something totally different.

 

I think the squeaking that is ubiquitous to AM sway bars is largely due to polyurethane bushings that are used. The OEM ones use rubber bushings for better noise suppression and ride compliance. I know H&R uses Teflon lined bushings that eliminate the squeaking, but unfortunately, they don't have a set for the cars with PDK, as far as I know.

 

BBI uses GT3 RS front bar and GT2 rear bar on the turbo S.

 

I have H&R front and rear for a Gen 2 PDK Turbo and they don't make any noises. Using stock OEM links.

I ordered Eibach but they don't make them for PDK Gen 2, the ones they sent me would not fit so we ordered H&R instead.

 

Thanks for all of the replies. They've been helpful.
