Not affiliated with seller, but a solid +1 on this being a special deal at this price. For those new to this game, it is not possible to purchase a more robust set of factory sways than these, at any price. The 30 mm M030 968 front is available from good e-tailers but I have never seen a 21 mm factory 3-way adjustable period, let alone for sale at competitive combo price f/r. The only widely available rear sway heftier than this would be the Weltmeister aftermarket bar system.

Agreed - the 21mm rear Cup bar has been unavailable from Porsche Motorsport since about 1998, and they were approx $550 plus shipping from Germany at that time (just for the rear bar).

I have used these rear bars on my cars and they will solve any understeer problems you might have. For comparison, the 21mm bar at full soft setting is stiffer than the 19mm (968 M030) bar at full stiff.

Out of curiosity which holes are for soft vs hard settings? I've got the 30mm front and 19mm rear currently on my car but am using the center holes in the rear.
