Default 964 Adjustable rear sways

How much can you expect from the adjustable drop links for the rear sway for a 964? After the suspension changes I went from pushing to loose. I could go after some bilstein sports for the rear ,but they're hard to get for the pre 91 setup. Bigger springs?

I had rs adjustable sways installed in my car when I first got it and they have been used often...but really the front more than the rear. But....depending on how bad your car oversteers, springs might be the answer. I have changed mine a few times and will be changing them again soon.

Is the car loose on entry, mid-corner or exit, or combo of them?

The car is loose on mid-corner, which is subjective since I'm basing it on how my SC rotates. It almost feels like the tire is rolling over, I checked my pressures and their good. Maybe it's all those extra ponies . I'm running 1.5 degrees - camber f/r .
Also. I could smell rubber as well, new tires though.

what size tires and rims you using? front and rear? could try more tire out back or possibly adjust pressures to compensate.

I would get adjustable sways and play with them and then go to the springs. When I had really bad o/s a few years back I completely unhooked the rear sway and that really helped until I changed the spring rates.

Oh and check the tire sizes and play with the air pressures some.

Hard to get bigger for the rears on 16's
I could run the boxter 17X8.5's in back.....

i don't know anything about 16" tires, but you need more rear tire. on my cup 2 (17x7 and 17x9) i used to run 235/255 toyo ra1 without any modifications (my fenders were rolled already though). i had also been able to run 205/255 MPSCs.
