H&R front and rear, or GMG's set.

Definitely. Not as thick as the H&R's or GMG's but more cost effective. Can't really go wrong, i've heard good things about all of them. I personally run the H&R's, but only b/c GMG was out of stock at the time.

If you only have the PSS9's wont matter much. and really wont matter what you choose as all above are better then stock.
I went with the GT3 sway, it is hollow and light and from porsche. the others are probably every bit as good.
bottom line is probably not what sway you add but did you add one.

Got them on mine, front and back. They are a Porsche part - so local dealer, Sun Coast, Pelican maybe, Carnewal, Sunset, etc., etc

GT3rear is fine, I don't think GT3 front will work without different drop links. The rear is all you need. I have that on the second to stiffest setting and it is on rails. Pss9 set at 3front 2 rear. It is a little stiff but handles SWEET. The corner balance and aggressive alignment don't hurt either. Good luck.

So the stock tt rear end links work with the GT3 rear bar? I heard from one dealer that I'd need different length end links to go with the GT3 bar. I'm also running PSS9s set to 3/2.

Jeff, I just ordered GT3 sways front and rear and Sunset told me the drop links in the rear are 30mm too short. I ordered a set of very beefy drop links from The Racers Group they look great although they have not been installed yet. Kevin

I expect to hang with a couple of TRG guys at Sear Poin, errrr Infineon tomorrow for the Indy car race. Maybe I can score a discount! It turns one of my coworkers used to crew for Kevin Buckler, and he asked if I wanted to tag along tomorrow.

At 600$ a set, better start shmoozing early . They are great quality though and cannot be compared to stock.
