What size anti-rollbars did the 87 944S come with? or as an option? TIA

M758

same size as the regular 944 NA.

So turbo bars are bigger.

Lol...seriously..what actual size..in mm?

M758

Not sure, but they are pretty wimpy. I'd have to guess maybe 22 and 14?

I know Turbo S bars are 26.5 and 18 mm and would be a nice upgrade. However I am not sure what else you have on the car. My experience says for all out track use go with springs first and use the sway bars to fine tune the chassis balance. Too much sway bar with too soft a spring reduces the overall grip of the car. In spite of this the car may feel faster if if resonds quicke, but if want to do it right think spring first.

21.5mm front and 18mm or nothing in the rear.

Thanks!

M758..I totally agree! What size/make do you use?

Check/measure your existing bars to be sure what you have.

My 87S came with the swaybar upgrade option, so it had the 944T swaybars on it from the factory (25.5 front, 18 rear). So going to a Turbo S setup would not have been a noticeable upgrade.

I use weltmeisters. 28 mm front and 22 mm rear. These are probably too much for stock springs, but with my 350 front springs an 30 mm t-bars I use them to balance the car. I love them for their adjustability. Very nice to fine tune the car. Last track day I was making 5 mm swaybar adjustments dailing in the car after a corner balance and new aligment. I think got the right understeer/oversteer balance. It seemed really good, but I will need to tweak it more to see if this is a good as I can get it or have left a little on the table. Hey after 3 years on the same suspension and tires I figure it it time to tweak the bars to for more speed.
