Default sway bar kit

OK! the PSS10's showed up yesterday. So, I've got that box checked.

I found a H & R sport sway bar kit, 24mm front and 26mm rear. Its also adjustable. Would this be a good set up for the PSS10's?

As far as bushings are concerned, should I or can go with factory Porsche? or is there a better aftermarket set?

Thanks!

I run PSS10's (fantastic bit of kit) and have also polybushed my car.
Regarding the sway bars, I don't feel the need for upgrading them. The car sits pretty flat as is, and if anything I think a bit of weight transfer onto the respective front corner is no bad thing.

Do you have a part number? Why Elephant Racing over Walrod? I'm not trying to start any fights.

Polybushed? Who makes these and why are they better. Sorry I'm new to this bushing thing.

I used Powerflex as they do the rear trailing arm bush kit and I have used Powerflex before on other cars with good results

The h and r swaybars are great .

Elephant racing makes a sport bushing that is 25% harder than stock. They are rubber.

I'm happy to discuss...and I won't even tell you to use the search function...lol.

I got the Elephant Racing Sport Bushings today. I read on here that the sway bars are not that big of a deal and that the stock ones are fine and that the bushings and the pss10's are all I really need. Anyone else disagree? I don't have a problem getting them if it'll improve things. Also, with the H&R sway bar kit, front and back, does that come with the bushings for that too? I noticed the bushings come in different sizes or the sway bar you have.

The swaybars come w bushings.

We are using them on all the cars in the suspension madness thread. They do make a huge difference.

Tarret rod-end rear drop links and sealsit boots to protect from road grime.

Monoball top hats at least in the rear.

And better spring plates to reduce or eliminate weissach effect
