SwayBars ??
I changed just finished Installing the M030 swaybar. I am looking 2 change the rear one what swaybar should I use? The car is not a track car but I maybe 2 or 3 times a year when I finish.
The 19mm Adjust one sounds a bit small. I'm thinking like about 22 mm or 25 at max. What do you guys think? Is 19 mm good or should I go for the larger one?

I actually race my Stock class 951 with 275/40/17 Hoosiers on all corners with the 19 mm rear bar full tight and it works ok. I would expect it to be ok on the street as well. A larger diameter one will give you more adjustability, particularly if you run smaller front tires. I also use Racer's edge solid mount for the rear bar which I know tightens things up. A compromise for the time being.

Porsche designed the 968 M030 sway bars as a set. The 19mm rear-adjustable bar is the one that's supposed to be paired with the 30mm front bar.
That combination with stock springs and torsion bars should give you a balanced setup.

I have the Weltmeister 22mm fully adjustable in the rear. It's alittle more pricey than the 19mm bar(at $250) but it gives you a large range of adjustment. I think its what you're looking for.

If you upped the front without the rear, you're going to experience some serious understeer. You need to stiffen the rear proportionally to even out your handling. The 19mm adjustable is matched to the 30mm, like Karl said, so get that one.

My 2 cents:
we have an S2 racer that has Koni yellow shocks in front (in an adjustable strut)and sports Koni's at the rear. We run the car with the 968 M030 swaybars (30 mm in front, 19 mm, middle setting rear), on standard springs. The amount of overhang in corners is very high, so much so that the front tyres get overloaded very rapidly (we will try and put online some pictures comparing the S2 cornerign with the turbo that we are running. The lesson that we learned: go a for a total matching package: if you ahve stiffer shocks and bigger sways, make sure you have stiffer springs too...
