GTS Rear Sway Bar
My 94 GTS has Devek blue heavy dudey (blue) front bar...good, but got under the car this morning and rear bar looks stock. Stock drop links and one hole in bar. I would like to dial in some more rear bar to get less push. What are my options?

ott drop links could help you create some more stiffness in the leverage on the bar.

DR at 928 Specialists had a stiffer rear sway bar and adjustable rear drop link combo at SITM - I got one. 
Not sure if there are any left. 828-766-9280

Are your front sway bar mounts reinforced ? If not you are going to tear them OFF ! A very good race mechanic I knew used to ask .. "If the front end is having a problem why screw up the other end just to make it worse and the car "balanced" ? 
Just for grins try lightening up the front bar adjustment a bit , body roll on a 928 is not nearly as bad as body roll on a strut car like a 911,944. Also the brake bias on a 928 is such that trail braking into a corner can cause understeer since the front brakes do most of the braking taking away the cornering ability. Some of the POC drivers left foot brake to keep the right foot on the gas !

The front pushes in 180 turns from the apex thru the exit, even at full throttle (no power oversteer). I've pumped the throttle like Aerton Sena thru the apex to unsettle any set the car takes on entry and my speed thru the apex and exit is limited by the understeer. Lifting the throttle only slows the car where a more balanced setup would nose down and rotate.
Also when I get on the throttle in a tight turn I can feel the front outside corner lift and that tire actually chirps like I popped the clutch. I've never had a car do this and wonder if it is a function of the PSD.
Oh and by the way, the racers rule is if one end is loose, tighten the opposite end.
Sterling, How much?

turn the wheels to the passenger side and take a picture of the sway bar mount to the chassis, and post it up.
Most of us can tell you if it is reinforced or not.
