How good is the front euro 968 sway bar? is that the m030 or whatever that is supposedly the best(relatively) for a street car?

Euro sway bar options are the same as North American options. So a stock Euro bar is the same as a stock US bar, a Euro M030 bar is the same as a US M030 bar. The M030 is the 30mm bar that is commonly used as an upgrade.

The stock 968 front sway bar was 26.8mm . I personally think its a better match up with the M030 968 rear 19mm bar than the 30mm M030 bar..as it reduces the understeer nature of mostly stock suspensions.

I would agree with this.

I have an 18mm 951S bar on the back of my car, and the stock M474 bar (21.5?) up front for now. Although I get sloppy with the throttle oversteer in autocross, I enjoy getting sideways.

Im running an 18mm rear with a 25.5 front. The car handles pretty nicely with that setup, and the bars are easy to come by.

Thanks, but I have a 26.8 in the garage. I never swapped it because I didn't want to ruin the bushings (balance shaft leak). It's all yours, Doug.

Pretty sure this is correct, but can't say for sure. Got this from another site (Jim Pasha's Article).
