What you are looking for cant be described in %'s and rates. The question is what works.
The reason why our bars are more expensive than other companies are because we bend our bars in very small quantities and because we buy a car, take it to a circuit and try multiple rates with different suspension set ups to figure out which ones are the best. The buy that designs them also happens to be a pro driver and knows what works along with different alignment and spring rate changes to get the most out of the car. This is why we sell our suspension systems in packages. You can piece it together but ultimately we know what works the best.
Buying the "stiffest" bar isnt the answer. Buying the bar that is made correctly(hollow, like the factory), bent correctly, made of the best materials and puts down the fastest lap times is the best option. That is our setup. That is the reason that pros use our bars and two race series both use them.

Do you have any direct experience comparing the GT3/Tarett setup with the TPC setup? Since you said the % numbers and rates don't accurately describe the differences, can you give us boxster/cayman drivers some sort of comparison breakdown of what driving/racing with a GT3/Tarett setup verus a TPC setup with all else equal would be like? How would you qualitatively describe the handling difference? Are you getting faster lap times, and if so, by how much? I, and I'm sure some of the other guys here, would like to hear what your track findings were in terms of improvement and how you came to the conclusion that these are better, and why they are the best...
Thanks in advance!

Idealy I would like to have Porsche install these parts although, it seems like this option will limit my options.
If I can find a local shop or mechanic to install the parts I will order everything on line.
On the plus side I'm enjoying reading and researching these options.

I'm going to take peoples advise on this forum and my mechanic and purchase tires 1st, sway bars 2nd (GT3 or TPC, I have ruled out H&R).
Is anyone out their using the Sport cup's? There are some good sales on these tires during the winter season that I can take advantage of.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
