Rear Bar
Hi,
I did a search, I'm sure it's an easy answer, but I can't find it?
What size is the rear Sway bar? I'm talking to Gert about a PSS9 set up and he mentioned going to a 21mm bar on the rear and I was wondering what was stock?
Thanks,
Pete

I just changed my rear bar to the ROW TT sway bar. The USA TT sway bar is 20 MM.
This was just a temporary solution for me. When I get my real shocks, I'll get the rear RS bars becuase of the adjustability.

The very early USA TT's had the 21mm rear bar (and some other goodies, as well). Pete, with a '97 should have the 20mm.

<strong>Thanks Jeff,
Trying to decide between the 21mm bar and the RS set up.

I would go right for the RS. My TT had the 21mm (early '96). I went to RS and full coil-over (Bilstein/Eibach from FVD). Rear RS bar full stiff and it was OK but still some push. I finally went to RS front bar and with it set one from full soft, plus some alignment changes to make the car looser, I got it where I wanted it.
For most people, doing the coil-overs and RS rear bar will get you as loose as you will ever want.

My 96 993TT was delivered in April 1995 and it has the 21mm bar. I actually have a brand new 21mm rear sway bar if anybody is interested. I'll let go for $140.

Jeepers, mine was built in March 1995. Gotta be one of the first, ehh? I understand after checking with the previous owners, that PCNA was the original registerd owner of the car. I shudder to think of the abuse that was probably heaped on it. Which probably explains the warranty replacement of 1st/2nd gear set in May of 99. Hmmmm... do I now have the stronger 1997 gear set? 993-302-901-71. Anybody know this number? Mark... what other goodies?

I recently installed the PSS9 setup with the RS adjustable bars and am extremely pleased with the setup.The car was set to RS specs and drives and rides fantastic.This is the most important modification that you can make to the car.
Happy Motoring!
