Sway bar sizes
I've look around and couldn't find it. Is there a compilation of front and rear sway bar sizes for 993s?
Let's see what's out there:
- Stock C2
- Turbo
- RS (?)
- M030
- M033
Anything else?
Thanks!

Hi Mike,
The definitive answer is in the archives somewhere, as I remember seeing it. But the short (and incomplete) answer is:
F/R
20mm/17mm - US
22mm/20mm - RoW M030
22mm/21mm - RoW Turbo (of which I highly recommend as the best bang-for-buck bars, especailly if you can get them used...IMHO, FWIW)
Someone can fill in the rest...gotta get to work before someone notices

Ed,
You are morphing into another Viken...great job on the quick response.
I also believe the following is true:
993RS Front 23mm, 5 wway adjustable
993RS Rear, 20mm, 3 way adjustable
Also note some folks have added an extra drop link hole, forward of the stock hole, on the 21mm Turbo bar making it a two (2) position bar. I had this done to my former 21mm rear bar by Andial. I ran the car in the full stiff mode...no under steer here!
Best regards,

Viken, let's me describe what I have:
20/17 bars, worn out suspension, street-only car, 205/255 tires, understeer.
I have a chance to get a set of 22/19 bars. A set of H7Rs and Bislteins will eventually be on the car along with 225/255 tires. The car will remain purely a street car.
Given all that and my desire for less understeer, should I end up with 20/19 or 22/19 bars? Or should I stay with 20/17?

Thanks, Viken, that's what I originally though. I'll try 20/19 once the suspension is replaced.
BTW, a related question - what's the max comfortable spring rate for the street with Bilstein HDs?

I would imagine bars such as the TRGs (being much thicker) would provide far greater difference than even the turbo ones. Has anybody had direct experience moving to the TRG from the turbo ones? I have the turbo bars and like them quite a bit yet wouldn't mind removing even more lateral sway from the car (if the difference is significant).
