I'd say so. I know for my coupe (t89) I was going to go to the 28mm RS2
front bar and the 24mm stock front bar in the rear since they are almost
identical systems F/R. I'd figure same is true for the V8q, except the
geometry is different F/R, but size ratio should still apply.
Also I was up and the local stealership and they had an eibach(I think)
setup for I think an TT maybe A3 (to small for anything else) and it had
32mm front and 26mm rear sway bars. That tells me that it most work as
eibach really doesn't F' around with shit that doesn't work.
Some people have said you don't need sway bars on these cars they do better
with out them. Well I'm having one of the best 928 driver's around help me
with mine and he is a suspension guru. He can take any car drive it and
know what it takes to make it faster with out making it dangerous or scary.
His comment was yes with stiff enough springs you don't need sway bars, but
on the street those springs mean that every pot hole, ever stick you feel in
the seat of your pants. Imagine riding a horse bare back at a full gallop.
Fine for short busts or on perfectly smooth areas, but across rough terrain
your going to be in for a serious hurting.
Is there any interest in a bigger front bar?
