I'd like to replace my standard swaybars or at least the droplinks to permit me to lower my car a little more. I have the PSS9s.

The RS adjustables are too expensive.

Anyone have a suggestions as to my options? Preferably in increasing order of pain to my wallet...

Thanks in advance.

Try: http://www.theracersgroup.com/parts/...s/swaybars.htm

also do a search for "TRG" and "PSS9" and you should get some good info. From what I remember most liked, some found them squeeky and some did not have that problem. Good Luck.

I just ordered a set of TRG adjustable sway bars. Obviusly I don't have them on my car yet but if you do a search you will see that they are well thought of. The tech who is going to corner balance and align my car also had very good things to say about them as well. TRG also sells a set of rear drop links that allow the car to be lowered to RS height with the PSS9's. The whole setup is about $750.

Lots of sway bar info in the archives. Good luck.

TRG sway bars & RS droplinks - all purchased from ViperBob. (no affiliation yadda yadda yadda) In 2 boxes in our living room along with the new PSS9s. Don't forget the front protection bar ! My wife will kill me if I don't install them soon.

Your search will reveal a few methods to effectively increase the drop length (ViperBob summarized these a few weeks ago). E.g. throw away one of the lock rings, mill down a bit of the drop link perch, or find a shorter drop link, etc.

If you go the TRG route (the pair of bars cost about $550), you have a few options for drop links:
- TRG drop links (dunno a thing about them)
- ViperBob's custom adjustable droplinks (currently they can't reach the innermost hole (rear only), but I think some curved droplinks are under development)
- Porsche RS drop links, for roughly $130. (I'm going this route but I haven't installed yet)

Here is a pic of the TRG drop links and some of thier other components. Pretty nice stuff. The rears are a bit pricey when buying the mounting collars with them tho.

$300 for the rears with collars...beautiful stuff. The TRG bars are about $600 a set. 25mm front and I believe 22mm rear, maybe 23mm...their web site tells all. Also know that the TRG bars have bolt on collars aon either side of the bar to keep them from rattling back and forth, not welded collars. If I had to do it over, I would get the 993RS bars with drop links. It is Factory, and it is right on. I have the TRG set up. I justy have a problem with the bolt on collars!

thanks martin for summarizing it

I have the rear links from TRG and took them off. Very small spherical bearings.. Also, these did not allow me to get to the last hole on my sway bar. Typically, I do not like to use the extremes for adjustments on my sway bars so it was not as big of a deal to me. I just thought the bushings were too small.

Martin- Is there some advantage to bolt-on collars? Just cheaper? I'm wondering why I haven't heard on anyone here just tack welding the collars to the bar if the collars are a real concern.

Also, FWIW, my measurements indicate that the TRG bars are actually 1" (25.4mm) and 7/8" (22.2mm). I know, I know, I'm such an engineer...

Eric,

You just have too much time to play with your new toys... Get them on your car already and enjoy them there instead of in your living room...

Good info guys. I may try thr TRG bars and the RS links. I don't want to destroy the ride since this is really a street car - I feel like the swaybars might play a major role in ride comfort. Any thoughts on the effects of stiffer/larger bars on the ride comfort?

TIA

I was told by TRG and another source that the latest version of TRG's bars took care of the problem of loosening collars. Is this not true??

My threaded collars locking rings keep coming loose on the rears. I tightend them up before Willows 2 weeks ago and mid day Saturday of last weekend one had come loose again. When I get a change to get the car up and the wheels off I will be figuring how to lockwire these.

Pete,

What bars do you have on your car?? I have installed dozens of TRG bars, and I run them myself with 600HP, Motons, and race tires and there has never been a single issue of the collars loosening or the bars walking on any car...

I even have my customers come back after a few weeks from a new suspension install just to make sure everything is fine.... With my customers I don't want to wait until there is a problem for them to come back... Of course it could be the weekend BBQs that has them returning....
