Smart Racing Anti-roll bar...
Just wonder if anyone has experience with these? Good / bad?
And anyone tried them on a 930? What size bars are you using? thanks...

I haven't yet, but I'm saving up the money for one for my 930.

Do a search, I think they've been talked about. I think there may be an issue with ground clearance.

I'm putting a rear one in the new version of my car. 23mm. Haven't used it yet, though, so nothing to report other than that they have a great reputation and a smart design.

Great bar. Sensible, simple design, ultra strong yet light [not the bar itself!], very well made, simple to set up and easy to adjust. Yes, the trailing arms do reduce ground clearance a bit, but thats a non-issue unless you are planning on using the local car wash on a regular basis.
The bars are interchangeable if you ever want to move up/down, or move it to another car.

After two years use, they have held up well. A few thoughts; they are very durable and will focus any weakness of you sway bar setup onto your mounting points of your car. Make sure your mounting points are reinforced, the fronts with additional sheetmetal welded to the inner fenderwall and the rear sway bar mounts gusseted and reinforced. They fit also is almost too precise. I had some trouble in getting the bar to fit into the mounts without binding. The fit is precise. I went with 27mm front and rear.

In my opinion, these are the standard by which all others are measured.
The geometry is excellent. They are at least half the weight of other bars. They are durable. They are beautiful. And as 89911 says, they are very precise. Worth every penny. And they cost a LOT of pennies!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Went through AJ USA bars and broke the drop links on the second track day.
SRP bars are very easy to adjust, look great and have held up like no others.

For a little less money you could go with the Racers Group bars. I have had nothing but excellent results with mine. Easy to adjust, install and fit was perfect. I think I got mine for $900 for the pair straight from the Racers Group.
