Sanham, by GT3 sway, you mean just replace the rear bar with GT3/GT2 OEM sway bar and leave front alone (front GT3 and GT2 bars don't fit in Turbo)? People have done it and are happy with it but I personally prefer replacing both front and rear as a set. If you just replace rear and leave front stock, the setup might be too soft in front vs. rear and the risk is oversteer.

I don't know if you know but Eibach makes both GMG lowering springs and GMG sway bar. Let's assume that your Eibach brand lowering springs are similar to GMG lowering springs , then that make GMG sway bar a first choice for you for sure. Like a set made for each other :-). Hope I am not getting in trouble with Fabryce for saying this non-sense :-).

There are other good sway bars: H&R, Tarett, etc., and in truth no one knows if one is "better" than any other, only that no one hates H&R or GMG and they are both very popular.

I like the GMG bars because they are the only one who publish specs (not that it matters, but I do like to know, front 15-25-35 stiffer, rear 30-45-60 stiffer), made by people who race cars, work well with many other cars on this forum, etc., so that's what I recommend to anyone who asks me http://www.gmgracing.com/store/index...ay-bar-ki.html

And yes, I would use Tarett drop link, at least the rear because there is still too much vertical/lateral movement in the Turbo's rear with stock drop link: http://www.tarett.com/items/996-997-...lnk-detail.htm

Essentially, you could add more later, but lowering springs or coilover + sway bar + drop link is a good start for a daily driver. They would transform the handling as many here have experienced.

Based on the above, and given that you already have one somewhat "unknown" entity, the Eibach spring (there is really not much data on Eibach), IMHO it's best to stick with GMG for your sway bars, since we know well that they do - they are definitely stiffer than stock and their specs are published for all to see, the way it should be.

From now on, if there is any problem with the suspension setting, we at least would know it's unlikely to be from the sway bars.

I would start with soft front, medium rear setting on the GMG bar. if this still doesn't stabilize the car's leaning in curves, then move to medium front medium rear, then finally, medium front, stiff rear. Watch out; depending on the rest of your suspension setup of course, but the stiff setting on the GMG bar could be quite uncomfortable. It is very very stiff.
