Hi guys - looking for feedback from GTS folks who have upgraded their sway bars...Any feedback on what has worked for you? I realize that the GTS with SPASM has a thinner rear sway bar so looking for specific examples where GTS owners have upgraded. Thx

I went to GMG to install mine. They said that I needed a standard front sway and turbo rear as the rear was larger than the stock 997 due to the wide body. The GTS is an interesting car...turbo wide body but a normally aspirated engine. Much wider track on the GTS.

I went with GT3 sways. You'll need a spacer in the rear from BBI if using OEM sways. Carrera and GTx cars have different sub mounting points.

Sways and camber helped eliminate understeer and the car is much easier to turn in and rotate. .
