I'm usually a huge fan of big sway bars and repetitively soft springs for street use, but my 924S has steel front control arms, so I felt constrained with respect to the front bar size. Based on my research the M471 combo (23.5mm tubular front, 14mm solid rear) were the stiffest sway bar set up the factory used on steel control arm cars. I’m planning on using urethane bushings everywhere except the rear drop links, stock springs and Bilstein HD shocks/strut inserts. If I end up with too much understeer I can always go to a larger rear bar. That’s the plan at any rate.

From what I’ve read, the big 30mm M030 front bar is probably only a smart idea with the later aluminum control arms, or aftermarket lower control arms.
