Posted 26/06/06 08:18 AM Author Share Posted 26/06/06 08:18 AM Hi Jack.With the bar on the bum as well, you will lose all your straight line wander and the car will come out of corners flatter, or you can push it much harder before it breaks traction in the bum , depending on tyres and road conditions of course. The front bar is excellent, the rear one added is thick choclate icing on the cake.Cheers Cheers Hypnodoc... looks as though I'll be getting one of them in the very near future... currently it's the weight transfer that's killing the power down... and hopefully this corrects it to some effect.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a mild brake upgrade followed by a lecture from the missus and I would be happy (For Now).Scotty Edited 26/06/06 12:10 PM by Kimberley Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything like the front bar, then it will rock too...Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesFlurane Member 351 Member For: 18y 7m 9d Gender: Male Posted 26/06/06 09:05 PM Share Posted 26/06/06 09:05 PM I have a 27mm on my BA V8 and as reported gives a flatter and sharper turn in. Reports from people on another forum (AFF) say that with the rear swaybar the BA has a tendancy to lift the inside wheel, in fact I'm sure I've read that Whiteline do not recommend the rear bar be fitted to the BA.More research would be recommended.YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faygun Member 389 Member For: 21y 4m 17d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 27/06/06 12:48 AM Share Posted 27/06/06 12:48 AM Swaybars are undoubtably the best 'bang for buck' suspension improvment available. We have a 30mm on the front of our Ute, and while it isnt really set up for the track, it does see Wakefield Park quite often. Increasing body roll stiffness in the front sharpens turn-in and promotes driver confidence. Increasing the rear will certainly give you more control as the weight transfer will be reduced.Front solid spherical swaybar bearings ( see picture ) are also available for around $150RRP to replace the OEM items but this will increase NVH levels - ideal for track enthusiasts.For less than $200 for a non-adjustable 22mm rear swaybar..I wouldnt hesitate. ←So do you guys sell 27mm front sway bars and if so how much?CYA JEFF ←PM sent.←Can I have one too please?←PM sent←can I have one as well? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was from Whiteline and somewhere else - so caution folks.Dingah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
