GT3's are hollow less unsprung weight.

Is it correct that the GT3 wont work on the front because of all wheel drive? Is is also true that H&R does not need different drop end links as the bars are made to fit turbos. I am also considering a sway bar upgrade. Pleas reply with any advice experts.

GT2/GT3 bars here... the fronts don't fit but the good thing is you don't need the fronts anyway!!! The rears worked out very well for me dialing out 50% of the understeer (another 40% with a proper wheel alignment leaving a desirable 10%). RUF for instance offers the GT2 rear bar only with their suspension kit (PSS9's re-valved for them).

I have the GT3 adjustable sways with TRG drop links and they fit fine.

not sure if the techart sways are adjustable. like most mods they may not be needed but the TRG drop links are much beefier and will not delfect like the stock flimsy dl's. very noticeable, at least to me.

why spend the money on an adjustable sways and mount them up to the flimsy one's? what's the point? that's the weakest point.

you only need the adjustable dl's if your sways are adjustable if your sways have the single hole for dl mounting then they aren't needed. unless you want less deflections and more solid mounting.

The TechArt sways are adjustable. The TechArt coilover comes with the front DL. I noticed the difference after putting the sway bars. The OEM sucks.

I previously used the TechArt sway bars and drop links. I now use Turbo Performance Center sway bars (24mm/30mm) and TRG drop links. I completely agree with Oak re: the TRG drop links (the OEM links are toothpicks next to the TRG links).

I'm actually replacing the OEM drop links, they are wimpy.
