Oh, btw, I highly recommend swaybars.
I changed from Koni's with HR green springs 9standard sport spring) to HR 965 (964 turbo) sport springs which are another 50% stiffer and went to a 24mm front and 22mm rear adjustable sway bar and instantly gained 3 seconds a lap at Phillip Island International circuit in Australia. The difference in handling was phenomenal with the car feeling so much more planted and responsive. This track has a lot of 180km/h plus corners and the car just gave you so much more confidence as it wasn't moving around anywhere near as much.

I am running 215/45ZR17 in the front and 275/40ZR17 on the back on the stock 17" Cup wheels and I love it. No need for any modifications in the back.
The car is Carrera 2 and I do nor need to run spacers in the back.

I was wrong about no problems 275 tires in the back! Unless I mount a spacer the right tire will ocasionally scrape on the oil line and the control arm. Going back to 255!
