FWIW, if it was up to me, I would not sell these 987 sway bars to anyone who's putting them on with stock shocks and springs because they were designed for the Cayman Interseries to replace the bars from the series's first bar vendor. So these bars were originally intended for use with racing shocks that have shorter stroke and heavy springs that favors a stiffer bar material which consequentially is a more brittle material. But they happened to make a stock car go way fast on sticky tires as they produce sooo much grip but then at such grip level and g-load these bars, particularly the rear, become the only suspension component supporting the weight x force of the car as the stock shocks & springs are simply over whelmed, they are just along for the ride. Other factors for rear bar breakage are long stroke(droop) on shocks fully compressing one side while fully extending the other side which pulls the bar apart from blade to blade like 4-5 inches, jacking the car up on one side and then dropping abruptly, uneven preload on drop links, compounding these factory with stock springs usually don't end up well. We have consider using a different material but then doesn't produce the same results on the Interseries and ITC race cars so for better or for worst we're stuck with race bars.

I apologize to the OP for being off topic.

I'm calling it now, that will last for one visit to the track and then you will want to make it right. these cars need a little adjustment to work well on the track. And for the record, stay away from the TPC garbage. The parts break after a few runs at the track and they won't warranty anything.

I am going to make it as quick as the RS on the track, I'm determined! You and Terry just be ready to give the point bys when you see a black Cayman in your mirrors. Now that I have good pads, I'm going flat out!
