Happy New Year to everyone,
Have heard good things about this upgrade on our Turbos. Mine is an 08 Gen 1 locking rear diff. Anybody have the proper part number for this rear sway bar upgrade? In my research there seems to be some similar versions and nearly identical part numbers (Gt2RS,Gt3RS, etc). Anybody whose done the upgrade please feel free to chime in,
Thanks

Here you go. Just buy it! I did. Will be here on the 10th.

There are two part numbers for the same sway bar. One is for the GT2 and the other is for the GT3 RS, but it's the same part.

You get the bushings too?

Craig T.

Yes. You need the bushings to fit the wider diameter of the bar.

I sent you a PM.

I would shop around on price. suncoast is usually expensive, plus pricey shipping

Will this make the ride harsher?

C's Turbo

Not sure. Supposed to make rear feel more planted. Most use middle setting.

As far as Suncoast, they told me I needed to purchase additional drop arms. To my knowledge I just need the sway bar and bushings that go with it.

Part numbers in this thread. I bought from Scuderia. Was about $480 shipped with pair of bushings. I think Sunset was on par.

I didn't notice any increase when I installed mine on the middle setting. Definitely tightens up the rear end...goes from a 35 year old to an 18 year old.

^^haha perfect analogy

You don't need aftermarket drop links unless you decide to do a real aggressive alignment. The OEM links don't have a great reach, and they do occasionally break under load with a heavier sway bar (mostly during track use). I decided to upgrade mine anyway. Tarret sells nice ones for $175. It's one of the "might-as-wells".

Home run btw. Car felt fantastic and very stable during a spirited day of driving last weekend in the Keys.
