Default Adjustable anti roll bars

Does any one know of a company who makes uprated or adjustable anti-roll bars for a 964 3.3 turbo.

I've just had a custom suspension set made by JRZ for my car, but the NA rollbars don't fit and it is crying out for stiffer bars.

Any help much appreciated.

I installed the stock 964 RSR anti-roll bar, you also need the RSR drop-links (same as RS I think). Any Porsche Motorsport dealer can order these for you. This anti-roll bar is 24 mm, 5 way adjustable.

Still running with the stock rear anti-roll bar, not sure if I would like to have it softer or stiffer.

My car has a stock 964 Cup suspension, weight is 2750 lbs without both fuel and driver. I only drive on the track.

The RSR sway bar and drop links get my vote; you'll find them at Porsche Motorsports.

Just had the H&R 26 MM adjustable rear sway bar and custom drop links installed last night. It was more work than expected but man what a difference. Have it set to the softer of the 2 settings and it really pulls the suspension together. Gone is the little wiggle I would get under acceleration and the car is more stable in the straights and much more so in the curves. It feels like I lost 200 pounds off the back end in the turns.

I would think with a stiffer front bar and the rear set to max the car would be even more amazing. Definitely a nice improvement over stock.

The turbo now handles as well if not better than my C2 which has full bars not as stiff front and rear and solid bushings same H&R reds and Bilstein suspension.

Does anyone have the part numbers for the RSR rollbars. I have just received my RSR rollbar kit from porsche but they dont look very adjustable to me and am worried they have just sent the stock 965 items to me. Alternatively a picture would be good.
