FYI....apparently H&R will soon have bars to go with their coil-overs...anyone heard how they will compare with GT3 bars?

Also, back on the GT@/GT3......if want adjustment capability on the GT3 bars you will need TRG adjustable drop links (at least in front).....at least that is the case on the Turbo.

I've had H&R coilovers with GT3 like swaybars for a couple of years. It's a pretty good combo for street/light track use. The swaybars make a big significant difference. Go for it.

Will the GT3 swaybars make the car tend to oversteer alot???

Adjustable swaybars give you some ability to control understeer/neutral/oversteer.

It's funny to hear someone worried about too much oversteer in a 996. Most compaint about the built in understeer the car comes with.

It's amazing how much more aggressive your car looks lowering it that much.

I love it!

Can't wait to do the same. How difficult was the install?

Looks great! But don't hit a pothole! Holy smokes! <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />

When I hit certain bumps in my stock '03 C4S, I cringe. I can't even imagine what a car that low feels like going over moderate bumps. It must feel like the car is coming to pieces.

Cheers,
Ken
