H&R 71385 is a Sport rear sway bar for the 1999-2005 Porsche 911 (996), 24 mm in diameter with three adjustment holes in the forged ends. A sway bar changes roll stiffness at one end of the car without changing spring rate or ride height, so unlike lowering springs it firms up cornering behaviour while leaving straight-line ride quality essentially alone. Adding rear roll stiffness on a rear-engined car shifts the balance away from understeer; the three holes let you dial how far you take that, and the setting can be changed later with a spanner rather than another parts order.
H&R Sport Sway Bars are cold-formed and heat-treated from (hf) 50CrV4 spring steel with forged seamless ends, then shot peened for durability and dimensional checking, and produced at H&R's ISO 9001 facility in Germany. H&R states that its Sport Sway Bar kits include its urethane/Teflon composite bushings, which do not need lubrication and are designed not to squeak.
This listing is for the rear bar only - one bar, sold each. No front bar is included, and no springs or dampers. Please note: H&R's current online application guide does not publish an entry for part number 71385, so the vehicle applications below are carried from the source product data rather than confirmed against H&R's live catalogue.
