Sixpack Member 43 Member For: 16y 8m 9d Gender: Male Location: Gippsland Vic Posted 22/06/13 12:12 PM Share Posted 22/06/13 12:12 PM Hi all,I'm not sure if this has been covered before.I have a FG XR6 turbo sedan and am considering changing both front and rear sway bars to Whiteline's either regular or adjustable.Will there be much handling improvement over the standard bars and can anyone tell me what is the thickness of the standard XR6T sway bars and how they compare with Whitelines?.Thanks,Sixpack Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85388-sway-bars-whiteline-comparison/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard from someone who does a lot of track work that the solid makes a big difference.
