... I remember something about the rear M030 bar being adjustable, right?

In that case, which setting is working best for you cab owners? I have 17" cup 1 wheels and the stock suspension. Car is a 951 cab but it shouldn't make a difference vs. a 968. Thanks!

I have mine set on the middle hole, but check my sig for what other things affect the setup.

Depends, do you want the car to be more stable or to rotate more? If you put it on the front hole (full stiff) the car will rotate more, the rear hole (full soft) will make the car the most stable. The middle hole is obviously a compromise setting.

You can adjust it as much as you want, without having to touch your alignment, so you can play with it until you find what works for you.

I don't think it's a compromise setting, it gives me the amount of oversteer that I like, with the other mods that I have-I had changed it after lowering the car, changing the front springs, and adding the upper and lower braces.

Like Scott suggested, you need to try and see what you like most. I personally like a Cab with a softer rear swaybar. It helps bring the tail end around a bit. Its not something most people feel comfortable with but for the cab, that is what I prefer. Its a personal thing and its nice to have the option to be able to tune it a bit.
With Coupes, I prefer a more neutral/understeering car.

For a cab, I'd start with the middle hole.

On a coupe, I'd suggest full tight straight off the bat.

Damian in NJ

Agreed, Rich, that was how I had my coupe set up.

Luis de Prat

OK, then the middle setting it is. The car was understeering a bit a while back on tight uphill turns with worn Michelins, but the new RE050s have pretty much done away with that.

Been hearing good things about the 968 M030 bars for years and thought I'd give the 951 cab a little structural upgrade with factory parts. Thanks for the help!

Rich Sandor

the 968 m030 bars are an unbeatable value - but more importantly, I wouldn't put anything stiffer on a 944/968 cabriolet. I personally do not believe the chassis is up to it.

Luis, where did you buy the sways, at OPC in Barcelona or somewhere else? My 968 cab is a bit bouncy if pushed hard in the turns, what's my best bet, M030 sways or new shocks (still has original with 160K kms) (probably both...)

I ordered a new set of front & rear M030 sway bars and all new OEM bushings earlier this year and the difference in the car's handling is astounding. You won't regret making the effort believe me.

Luis de Prat

Yes, my local OPC ordered the parts for me. I just gave them the PET numbers and they did the rest!

Front 30mm swaybar: 944.343.706.30
Price: 163.63€ + 16% VAT
Inner bushings: 951.343.794.05
End bushings: 951.343.793.31

Rear 19 mm swaybar: 944.333.701.01
Price: 84.55€ + 16% VAT
Bushings: 964.333.792.00

Hope this helps.

Luis de Prat

OK, I just picked up the parts from the dealer yesterday and I have a few questions.

1) Front bar chassis supports. ¿Can I still use the current supports with the thicker front bar? Are the bushings just thinner than those on the 26.8mm bar?

2) I've done a few front stabilizer bar R&Rs but never replaced a rear bar. Any caveats? What's the best way to do this?

Thanks!

I ordered new M030 sways and bushings but wanted to know about the mounting clamps /collars. Can I use the standard size or are there M030 parts for this?

RajDatta

Nope, just bushings.
You should be all set.
