from the shots, there is more roll than desired, but as soon as you reduce it, you will begin to find that those tires are too small and too tall, and that may be a slippery slope you don't want to go down

that being said, the 968 M030 bars are decent for spring and wheel rates up to about 275# front and rear wheel rates of about 275 - after that, you need bigger bars for a track car, but can still get away with those on street cars

a less expensive improvement would be to grab a set of standard 968 bars - they can be had for nearly nothing - the front will be 26.8mm and the rear will be 16mm - typically a set can be had for less than $200, complete with bushings
Flash, I guess I'm not understanding why less body roll is bad. I've always been told it is good. I understand you have to make the whole car work together and it could be bad if the only thing your doing is putting on bigger sways...but I guess I'm just a little confused.
