So I was poking around and found a couple things... 1) Many aftermarket rear sways fit both the 986 and 987. 2) Both the 986 base M030 and 987 base rear sway bars are 19.8mm. So...interchangeable? The 987 bars can be had on eBay for ~30 bucks. The biggest outstanding questions I see are if the wall is the same on them, and if it would truly fit. Anybody know?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I believe the fittment is different but have never laid them next to each other for comparison. Would be great if it bolted in.
