I'd like to upgrade my stock 19mm rear sway bar to 21mm. My sway bar has a couple of offsets to clear the transmission...will all sway bars offered for C2 w/ manual transmission fit my car or I'm I stuck with this 19mm?

Thanks, Kevin

ps. does any one have a 21mm rear sway bar they'd like to sell?

Just curious, but do you track your Porsche? I can't see how this upgrade would appreciably impact handling characteristics, other than under the most severe driving applications. I would think that a properly installed roll bar (which you would want in a track car) would do more for body rigidity than upgrading the rear swaybar. Also, I am assuming that you have installed a front strut bar already.

Syd,

A larger rear anti-sway bar will not help to increase body rigidity but rather will help to reduce understeer.

Auto X only. I'd like to reduce the body sway going thru fast tight turns like the one sees during auto x events and trying to find parking at Costco.

There's not much to the stock setup...split rubber bushings,etc. Not very tight, if you ask me.

My car sways like a drunkin' sailor, and I've gotten comments to that effect while out on the coarse. Other than that the car behaves well.

Kevin,

I've tracked my Tip for 2 years and have found the stock bars to be adequate and pretty neutral. I also did not notice too much body roll with my setup, as a matter of fact, I could almost lift my front wheel during high G turns (I'll post the pic if I find it). My setup was stock sway bars, Bilstein HD's with H&R RSA/Turbo springs, and front upper strut brace. Alignments & ride heights were dialed to Eruo RS specs.

There was a thread from about a year ago regarding sway bar choices and I remember Adrian saying the 19mm rear bars on a Tip C2 to be a good match.

I hope this helps.

I should look at going the Bilstein/ H&R route on my suspension.....Hey Santa, take note of this!

Thanks for the info, Peter.
