I am considering changing front and rear sway bar, what's the difference between the RS sway and my stock turbo sway.......

Bill Gregory

964 Carrera RS sway bars are adjustable 24mm front and 18mm rear. Your 3.6 sways are 21mm front and rears are 22mm.

So what are the benefits for me changing to RS sway bar ?

Bill Gregory

Why do you want to change - what handling characteristic are you trying to change?

I will bring the car to a track day in early Mar, afterwards I might have a better idea of what I am looking for ? Actually at this moment, I have no clue of what I want !!! Just some friends recommend me of the changes, they said it would ehance the car's respond Plus more precise handling.....Thanks

Ed,

While you can certainly do some mods prior to going to the track, my recommendation would be go to the track first with your 965 as-is. You'd be amazed at how competent Porsche's are on the track right out of the box. If you've never driven at the track, your stock suspension should do you fine for your first 10-15 events. When you're ready to upgrade, look at changing your suspension as a whole system, that is, consider shocks, springs, and sway bars. At some point, you'll want a second set of wheels to mount track-only R compound tires.

Thanks for your recommendation Bill . I will go to the track as is for I already have a set of Gambella / H&R suspension. I think for the moment is more than enough.....

Ed,

Make sure you have freshly bled your brakes, and starting with new pads isn't a bad idea either. And have a great time!
