Found one.

Lindsey wants $325 for an aftermarket bar. Just ordered an original Porsche part:

Part Number Part Name Price Quantity Total

944-343-706-30 Stabilizer Bar $180.59 1 $180.59


There are still a few in the dealerships if you look. Guess I should have done that first...

Thanks anyway.

If anyone else is looking, put the pn in Google, there are at least 3 dealerships with them in stock.

I think the lesson here is to not be afraid to check the dealerships, especially those with a good online selling reputation. We get so used to hearing about Porsche parts being unavailable, or hyper expensive, that we (including me) tend to look for used or aftermarket/3rd party suppliers first.

Good find, always check dealer prices first. There's plenty of worn out junk on ebay for more money than new parts.

Have you received it yet? I ordered the same bar from several online dealer sites only to get a response of NLA a few days later.

Yep, interested to see if this actually comes through.

The /30 shows as discontinued.

Same # with suffix /31 is available, and probably took the place of the /30.

Price for that # at Sunset is $462.

Just ordered last night.

Not in stock is a distinct possibility. I got an email this morning confirming order and stating it's in process. If it ends up being not in stock, I'll update the thread.

Where is the sweet spot though, just adding a thicker front bar could induce understeer.

I have a few rear bars and other suspension upgrades in order to dial in to my liking. You are correct, don't want a ton of understeer.

Pretty sure the 30mm hollow bar is NLA.... The #31 suffix that replaces it is a 28.5mm solid bar made by H&R for Porsche. If the 30mm turns out to be available please do let us know!
