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.

Increases rear roll stiffness without lowering the car or changing spring rate. Made in Germany at H&R's ISO 9001 facility.
