Where to find sway bars?
#1

I've had no luck locating sway bars. I searched in this forum as well as other and also on line. Any hints where these things hide. I'm looking to upgrade from my stock non M030 bars.

Thanks.

P.S. I found Weltmeister but those were out of my budget. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img]

Good luck with Pete! It seems if he get a set they are sold so fast your head will spin. I've tried but you have to so fast on the emial-draw [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]
I've set my sights on Lindseyracing.com as who knows when he will get a set of used M030's again.

Apparently Porsche just went through an across-the-board price increase for parts. Not sure if or how it affected the M030 sways.

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a set come Winter. I've exhausted my car non-necessity fund for 2009 I think...! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif[/img]

if Pete doesnt have sway bars, you can get a new set from lindsey racing (maybe sunset is cheaper?). Lindsey racing has a 5-way adjustable 19MM bar for the rear (which i have on my car). Its identical to the factory MO30 bar with 2 more levels of adjustment (one stiffer, one softer).

Ok. I have a new package for 968 Forums
The MO 30 bars are a great upgrade but you really need the correct attachments to make them work properly

Another plug for Jason at Paragon Products. I got my M030 sway bars and the Koni yellow, gas-adjustable, shocks and struts as well as the front lowering springs which are progressively wound and good for street and track. Good luck, Bob Blackwell.

It's a lot like drivng the 968 for the first time after the winter; you realize how nice a car it is again. I've been away from the forum due to too much work followed by being laid off. Coming back to it after months I remember again you guys are a great bunch.

Thanks Pete. Now, let's just hope that interview next week goes well...

lim - delrin does not have to be noisy - a bit of grease, and they can be very quiet - that does however, require a mod, which you can find here in the DIY section

Well, months later, no job yet but made some $ doing project work. As a treat I got Pete's package and Flash's delrin mod. I spent Saturday under the car in the driveway; it would have been nice to get 2-3 more inches of room.

Result = WOW. The car is sooo much more precise! It turns much quicker and during the turns adds even more confidence to the car. I broke my street driving rule and squealed all four tires on clover leaves to play with the balance; what a pleasure! Not only does the front work much better but transferring weight to the back feels instantaneous and a more confident grip/transition. I played making throttle micro adjustments inside the turns that were not possible before.

Our last autox event is in 3 weeks and I predict a minimum of 2-3 second time gain. Let's hope for a dry day for a reliable test.

For the moment I stuck the rear sway bar in the middle position. I figured I'll fine tune once I have the chance to get the car at speed (i.e. off public roads).
