So the epic saga of anti-sway bars continues.

Over a year ago, I ordered GT3 front and rear sway bars. The rear is a totally different shape, as GTS has *****, ooops I meant turbo's. The front could have been made to fit.

Then I ordered and paid for the magical ones at TPC, who were offended by questions and turned them around the day they arrived at my freight shipper. The sensitive petals. (I will keep mentioning this, until I arrive at a solution. As it was bad customer service. You may have served 100 customers well before me, but it was a douche bag thing to do.) Every time I track my car and feel I need a stiffer sway bar, I think of you and your actions. I think as I have to relive it every track day, you should relive it until it's rectified. I'm not looking for an apology, I'm looking for a superior solution that I can recommend to everyone. In reality, I couldn't give a toss. But you should share my pain until a solution is reached.


Q1 I am wondering would the Carbon Fibre GT3-RS front anti-sway bar fit?
Q2. Would the 2-RS front anti-sway be the same as the 3-RS. (3-RS front spring rate 100, 2-rs front spring rate 120.)
Q3 As the GT2-RS is also turbo (Big *****) would its rear anti-sway bar fit my GTS?

You can just buy mine because next week they're coming off OR, you could choose not to follow my lead that I have tried to layout for you!?!

I will check to see if the carbon fibre ones will fit.........cause you know........carbon fibre. If that is a dead end, then I will hit you up.

Hahahaha. PM me what solution you found? My car doesn't under steer at all. Since fitting the Tractive, I seem to have lost some drive out of the corners. I don't know if its just a feel thing and I am waiting for the car to settle before full throttle, but the tractive doesn't really get unsettled, so you don't feel it settle, so you wait to long. The car doesn't dig in and when changing direction. It may be just a feel thing. Or the tractive is compensating for lack of front sway bar.

I'm looking forward to having a little downforce at front instead of lift.

You need more front bar and to go up with a turn of front ride height and down with the rear 1 - 2 turns.

Not from level...as the car sits right now. All of your settings and your bolt-ons have given you a neutral balance, almost too free. So take what you have right now and go up with the front and down with the rear BUT you need a bigger front bar!

Awesome thanks. The GT2-RS is $3,200 AUD. If I can confirm it will fit, I will do it. (That’s pretty much what front and rear was from TPC in steel.). But this is Carbon goodness.

I love Carbon bits lol.

P.S I am running my street setup. -3.2 front and not sure on rear. I think around -2.0 something.

I may go more aggressive for the next track day. What do you think about -3.6 and -2.8?

i won’t hav the Amit-Sway by then.

Im curious why not just GT3 swaybar up front and a tarret bar in back? And of course long links in front designed for Tractives. Thats what Im considering.

Another, somewhat on topic questions. What ride height are you setting the car up with? I was shooting for 27 3/4" F&R to match the GT3 but wonder if the small amount of rake from the factory will help the car turn a bit better?
