Sunset Porsche quoted me a little less than $400 for 968 MO30's bars (both) with bushings. Email or call them.

Paragon has a 'Racer's Edge' bushing kit (reaching over $1,000 for the WHOLE car). But then, you need to talk to someone who already has these and compared them to the M030 option........

The Polyutherane bushings are cheaper than Paragon's 'kit'.......


Simon,
You definately do not want the racers edge kit if you are going to drive the car on our roads. It would knock your teeth out on a trip round the South Circular and probably rip your suspension mounts to pieces too!!! I drove a Lotus Elise track car with billet bushing from Sevenoaks to Brands Hatch and when I got out I could hardly walk!!!!
Polyurathene Bushes are going to give a little more compliance but check out the "Shure" rating. This is the hardness of the material, you don't need it too hard. Polybush do a kit in UK I think it is the purple ones you want.
Sway Bars (Anti Roll Bars UK) are a slightly more difficult subject. The Club Sport 968 has a thinner bar due to the car being lighter and the roll centre changing. I think Kokeln do an adjustable roll bar maybe our US Cousins can tell you who else do them but they would be favourite as you can get it set up to suit YOUR driving style and should you decide to do a track day you have the facility to firm it up or soften it off depending on handling characteristics.
What shocks/springs are you using??


Cheers
Tom

It tends to understeer a bit at the "limit", but that's how I want it right now. I can make it go the other way easily though
Running the 968 M030 bars on my track S2 with Bilstein/H&R suspension, camberplates, R-compound tires and the car is pretty much neutral with the middle setting on the rear bar.

I used to have 35mm front, 25mm rear on my f-body (stock is 19-21). I bought the set without knowing exactly what I was doing. Going that stiff in the rear makes the car EXTREMELY prone to snap oversteer, it would get sideways way too easily. I backed it down to a 21mm bar in the rear and it's perfect.

If you make the rear too stiff, you can't keep the wheels planted as the body flexes, and you lose traction.

I think my own personal taste would be to go up to a 19 rear and leave alone at the front. I would fit some uprated poly bushes and if you haven't already fitted it get the pair of the 968 Camber Blocks.
Are you still on 16" rims? What tyres and pressures are you running? Have you done a 4 wheel allignment recently?

Ok, Why just 19 on the rear? More info please on your reasoning...

Where do I get uprated poly bushes and what do they do?

968 Camber blocks? What do I gain here?

I am on 17 inches and running 2.5 bar all round.

Yes have done the aligment - tyre wear perfect.

Thanks mate.
