There's a lot of talk on the American forum about uprated anti roll bars, anyone tried them? I upgraded on my old 968 and it made a big difference, just wondered if it was worth considering.

Had them fitted to my GTS which help greatly with unwanted body roll

seen a fair bit on these myself but not done anything re buying them yet. typical costs seem to be around the 100-150ukp for front or rear and most come supplied with new poly bushes. came across one for the front that had 4/5 different settings available so you could adjust it to suit your needs.

Can someone recommend a supplier / price? I notice that my car is rather floaty at the backend at high speed, especially when making small sharp changes.

The front is great, but the strutbrace helps there. I think lowering it a bit would help {~25mm).

The problem with these cars is the list of add-ons is so great - I mean where do you start? I know where I should start but the list of bolt-on toys is oh so tempting cool

Are they difficult to fit, I read somewhere that the rears were a long job?

At the moment the car has:

MAF bypass
K&N Cone Filter with CS Performance Carbon Fiber MAF pipe.
Exaust system including headers
Remap of some description with open map.
Strutbrace
Brakes from CV8

I am wanting to do the blower converstion as it represents excellent value for money, but would like to address the sloppy rear end first and accompany it with the AP kit as I cannot abide brake-fade and have experienced it once.

the standard gts ARB look really meaty standard?

the adjustable ones - is it just a set of different holes to put the drop links into? ie different leverage?

front does seem to have a bit too much roll - was thinking later in the year new bilsteins and new poly bushes?

The Wortec adjustable suspension does a lot to stop movement. A little stiff over our roads in 50% setting but it certainly feels closer to the road and as for body roll - not much.
