No idea, sorry. You might try looking at the option codes on the paper sheet on the underside of the hood. If it came from the factory with a particular suspension, it would tell you there. The stock suspension didn't have adjustable sway bars or drop links. Most of the aftermarket links have right/left hand threaded heim joints on the ends, and some of them have been known to rattle when they start to go bad.
Adjustable sway bars are by far the biggest bang for the buck on handling. Rears are a very easy self-install. Front is also easy, just a little more difficult than the rear.

Mark, I'm surprised to hear they cut the springs- surprised since it rides so well!

i don't think this setup is adjustable. the guy who owned the car was a pcar tech, and a track rat. they definitely knew what they were doing, as all the components and mods work well together, and it handles like a gokart. that's all i really know. it isn't stock per se, but i know MO30 is oem, so i'm a bit in the dark.. also, there's no x73 on the bonnet sticker either. my last tt was stock and this one sure doesn't drive like it, and isn't. it's a very stiff ride, at best. i've got stuff that's either "loose" or tweaked, and it's from severe uphill driveway in/outs at wierd angles, creating popping/creaking. i'll get it sorted soon.
apologies to the OP for the threadjack...

Reviving in the hopes that someone has installed a GT3 front bar on a 996TT lately. I'm attempting this now, and having an few challenges. Simplest question that would be answered with a pic of the bar installed - does it go over or under the front driveshaft?
If under, I think I'll have to remove the LCA inner bolt on one side (that's fine). Before I go that far, is that the right orientation?
