I can't say enough about the value of this modification.

I have been messing with suspensions since my '86 16V Sirocco and this upgrade is the single most valuable upgrade I have ever invested in.

Anyone who goes this route, no matter whether on PSS9 coilovers (or some other active coilover system) or stock springs & shocks, will see a significant improvement out of the box AND give you the chance to change profiles with canned settings or even mess with it on your own.

I need sway bars now, like immediately, and maybe stiffer engine/trans mounts. This is all due to be able to drive the car closer to it's limits with a much better behaved suspension, no matter which setting.

I'm thinking of adding both of these next. I've got factory suspension with the DSC (which is awesome), but there's still some faint wiggle in the back under initial high speed braking/turn in.

Which made more of a difference? And how's the NVH on the 964RS mounts?

No added NVH with 964RS mounts that I could perceive. (Although I don't have a lot of seat time since installing and we added with new dampers and springs.)

GT2 bar was noticeable improvement - first thing I did.

Cool. That's super helpful. Rear GT2 bar only, right?

I agree with JG 996T...GT2bar on middle setting definitely tightened up the rear; noticeable without a doubt.

964RS mounts added a small amount of mechanical and exhaust noise to the cabin and I like sitting in the car during a cold start. I'm running EP2 exhaust BTW...

I would do both again...

I may add the FF trans mount but not sure yet...I may be adding the UMW 4.0 kit clutch kit first.

w/ 964 RS flywheel? Now that will add some sound to the cabin (in a good way)

Thanks for the tips. I was wondering which position on the bar, but you've already answered that.

964 RS mounts have been ordered. Look forward to trying those out.

Anybody run Tarett GT spec bars? Supposedly factory spec copies at only 60% of the price. Seems like a good deal.

Yes, if I go the route then it will be the 964RS flywheel.

These posts convinced me to finally pull the trigger on the GT2 bar.

Are the DSC module same for Carrera/S and Turbo/S? I bought one from my friend and installed on my Turbo, much more comfortable, but do get more side way body roll, so just want to make sure Ive installed the right one.
