I've installed h&r springs, and have been toying with the idea of putting h&r swaybars on my cs. The front h&r bar measures 24mm, and the rear measures 22mm, but i can't find anywhere what the stock swaybars measure. Does anyone know what the diameter of the stock front and rear swaybars measure? I called the porsche dealer, and they couldn't even tell me what they are. Is it worth going with just a rear (22mm) swaybar, or just a front (24mm), or should i do them both? Will it make a noticeable difference when autocrossing? Thanks to whoever knows the answers.

I have installed both front and rear H&R Swaybars - and there is a huge difference reducing body roll - I recommend both front and rear and fitted at the stiffest settings...................

Keep in mind that traditionally the stiffer setup will indeed be better in quick transitions but have less grip. I have read about someone who used reverse logic that preventing the front end from rolling over the tire increased grip, though.

I would say you are right on both accounts.

If you are rolling over the front tire and getting significant positive camber then a stiffer front bar will help grip. I would be amazed if any is having a significant problem with this in their Cayman.

For our cars most people are going to find they are trading grip for transition quickness. At the extreme you will lift the inside front tire and the coefficient of friction for air is really small compared to that of pavement or concrete.

Lifting the front tire you say?

Yep, lifting the front tire...
