Rear sway bar
OK.. I have a 97 NB C2 and have my hands on a set of sway bars for a turbo.. will the rear sway bar fit on my car (I was told the front was the same) and is it worth changing the rear sway bar while i'm putting on my (new to me) PSS9's...
thanks,
Chad

On my 97 NB car.,
I installed a Mo30 RoW "Euro" 993 Turbo 21mm rear bar. The fit was fine...just look under your car on a lift for an "eye-ball" confirmation. I was installing with a M030 RoW factory suspension with struts and shocks coming directly off a 993 Turbo car. I believe we used the Turbo front springs, but not the rears as they were too short.
For the front I used M030 RoW 22mm bar. I can't recall why I didn't use the Turbo front bar.
The work was done at ANDIAL in Santa Ana, now their shop is closed, sad to see, sad to say.
Using all Porsche parts I could use factory drop links, a plus as they were plentiful and cheap, and they never broke.

changing just the rear bar on a '97 from 17 to 19 reduces under steer a bit
changing both f/r to 22/19 increases u/s a tiny bit the and will reduce sway
Mine had M030 when I bought it, it was nice for street use.

Absolutely worth changing the rear sway bar! And if you can find the 21mm rear bar, grab it (even if you already have the 20mm installed ...it'sa quick DIY swap). The balance it brings (in further reducing understeer) is worth every penny, IMHO. FWIW, I have had PSS9s and a 22mm/21mm sways on my 993 daily-driven for yeeeeaaars now and love the neutral and very planted feel/handling.
