Lightbulb Installed new RSS Sway Bar Kit


More mods on the car today as we installed RSS' new front/rear sway bar kit today. We used to use H&Rs but one thing that was a pet peeve with those kits was a) they were NOT adjustable in the front b) they were solid-design/heavier and noisier with the polyurethane bushing kit. RSS' kit is a hollow-design but still 50% stiffer than stock, fits using the factory bushings and is also 3-way adjustable in the rear _and_ front (yay).

Here's a comparison of the front stock (bottom) vs RSS:


The rear bar is super-easy to install (wish I could say the same for the front):


In order to do the fronts a bunch of panels and parts need to come off but at least you can see the physical size of the PDK tranny:



Notice the heat exchanger:


NOTE: these work on any 997 narrow body. Gen 1 or 2.

They're available as of next week and for more info:
