Whiteline 27mm Front Swaybar

[cobrav8]

Well - go to the whiteline website www.whiteline.com.au and read all the stuff, all of the write ups have front and rear swaybars, and the kits they sell have them as recommended - so, I cant see why Whiteline would say otherwise.

Totally agree and I canot find my resouces which is annoying - as far as I recall it related to inside wheel lifting if stiffened bar used and the disfunctionality arises from a function of the rear suspension design/mass/inertia. If I can dig it out I will post - that really leaves uprated shox/springs at the rear as options, but currently I quite like the balance as it is noting I have uprated front coil-overs, normal ride height, the 27mm sway bar and run 17s.

I guess we should also make mention that many forum folk have gone for more than significant changes to thier running gear already by running with 19s and 20s, lowered springs etc but the T's suspension was never calibrated for such changes of input and response, therefore what suits one car may turn out to be quite inappropiate on another.

Suck it and see is the answer, but care should be taken in accepting others' recommendations on equipment solutions as tacit....

Gawwd Jack, what have we started here....time to buy stocks in Whiteline.

On a more serious note when researching prior to fitting a 27mm front I too had the same feedback as DesFlurane quotes - ie leave the rear alone as BA/BF rear suspension setup will misbehave with rear stiffened further.  That was from Whiteline and somewhere else - so caution folks.

I'm looking to replace the front swaybar too. My car is stock. So I'd take it that a front swaybar on it's own will do the job - that is without lowering the vehicle or changing shocks/springs. Can someone please advise.

Also, what if I decide to lower the vehicle at a later date? Would this type of swaybar cause any problems?

Thanks.

As you said - try the front sway bar first - 27mm. be a little more circumspect with the rear depending on what outcome you desire.

Then you can follow-up with springs shox as you desire. Swaybar mod is compatible physically.

If I only do the front swaybar (27mm), would I need a wheel alignment?

As far as my advice goes from the people who fitted mine, no you don't...

And I haven't had any adverse effects from not having a wheel alignment...
