Default Gt2 rear sway bar

I recently installed the rear GT2 sway bar in order to fine tune things a little and dial out a bit of understeer. Adding a rear only adjustable sway is the same approach Ruf uses, so there must be method to the madness. Understeer is the main issue with these cars so I thought I would give it a try. Besides its a lot easier DIY as there is minimal disassembly compared to the front bars.
The GT2 bar is larger diameter at approx 26mm vs 24mm stock. The first alignment hole aligns with the stock mounting hole, then there are two more adjustments for softness. I set it in the middle hole, reckoning that setting is about 25% stiffer than stock.
So far the car feels pretty good, as soon as I can get it to the track a full report will follow.

Hi TT Gasman, Ruf set it in the second hole of my car too. Now I purchased an H&R front sway to complete.
