Funny stuff, Porsche puts adjustable anti-sway bars and people have no clue what there are for.
I hope the 991 GT3 comes with automatically controlled anti-sway bars, so people can take advantage of the dynamic adjustments controlled by the computers and go faster in the DE Cup.

Truer words were never spoken. I have my sways where I can adjust either end in less than 5 minutes. Personally l would rather have adj sways over adj shocks if I had to just pick 1.

well, when i`ll see grand am cars running 245 fronts with 335 rears i will change my opinion. on my car is was untunable with any sway bar combinations, and you cannot do too many anyway as you need to setup front sway bar reasonably stiff for mid-corner stability.
at least i could not tune it, it simply did not work.

Tires are regulated in all the Racing series, spring rates are free in Grand-Am, Grand-Am restricts the tires to be used. As an example, the 458 runs same size front and rear tires (width) in FIA-GT2, try that on a street car, and you'll bury it in the wall.
Use The Greek's corner weights, motion ratio, wheel rate, apply stock spring rates, add aero downforce at each axle, and 245/335 will work quite well, better than the 245/305. The 335 RA1 or NT01 is not 30mm wider than the 305/35R18 NT01, it is shorter and helps the long gearing, it just needs a one hole adjustment in both front and rear sway bars, and he's good to go.
My 987.1 Cayman S (same front geometry as your Carrera) uses same size tires front and rear, but I have it setup this way, with spring rates applied to run on this setup.
Carrera <> Cayman <> GT3
