Default Next suspension mod - advice?

Hi all - installed the Bilstein shocks and H&R springs last week and am loving the 996 all over again. But, I want to do the sways next and am looking for the most economical way to do this.

Am leaning towards the GT3 sways. Already have the adjustable end links installed, so it would be relatively easy.

Suggestions? For those of us in the GTA, what is the least expensive route to get them?
Thanks Glenn

then you should have gone with Coilovers... the Stiffness adjustment, compromizes for Sway Bar to a limit... even if you add GT3 Sways, it will still not be enough with your Bilistne Shocks...

Hey Zookie - not sure I understand. I chose not to go with coilovers cause I don't track and didn't want to bother with changing dampening and height. Just want to control under and over steer better.

Why do you need GT3 sways, if you dont track?

the reason why GT3 sways come on a GT3 is coz GT3 is a track car...

save your money

I've been fine tuning my under/oversteering issues with wheel alignment changes as well as adjusting the sway bars (for coarse adjustments). Are you setting your current sway bars to full stiff and you still need more? Is that the reason for wanting bigger bars?

Cheers,
