Whiteline Sway Bars

[boostdriven]

Hey researching for my new project, stock r32 for drift.

Does anyone have any idea on pricing for whiteline sway bars?new or used? :laughing-smiley-014:

Be throwing one in the front... and whether i should just go for heavy duty or blade adjustable..?

I just paid $255 from my local susp. place but they ordered the GTR instead of the GTs-T

might be cheaper from the group buy thread but i like to support local busniesses.

depends how long you want to wait with the group buy thread - Im still waiting for parts from ordering over 6 weeks ago

They are a good price though

Do you guys mean the retailers promoting through SAU?

I found in my old car the back end had shifted about an inch(commodore) , but is it worth putting in a rear bar?

For a thread with only 5 posts there sure is alot of confusion going on.

If you want a price on the swaybar you could always ring Whiteline & ask them. Or your local Repco or similar sttore as they sell them.

If you want to help your car drift putting a stiffer sway bar on the fron will help it - undertsteer.

If it is an R32 GTS-T the cheapest thing to do is get a rear sway bar off a GT-R.

If you must have the Whiteline gear get the adjstable bars.

Stiffer front swaybar without an upgraded rear swaybar will work miserably for drift, definitely get the rear one first. You'd be much better off getting both at once though. And having them adjustable is quite helpful.

Quick question:

Will you notice any difference if you get two different brand sway bars?

I currently have custom made Kmac rear sway bar.. But might get whiteline for the front (due to cheaper pricing)

So should i go back to kmac n get a front one made up as well?

[boostdriven]

Im only going for whiteline because i havent really come across more major brands.

I didnt find any sway bars there.. just suspension, or im blind.

I'm gonna go with blind joke. Doesn't help that the site now reduces the size of all the pics now though.

They're called stabilizer bars in the price list. Swaybars = stabilizer bars = anti-roll bars.

Siddr20: I doubt there would be a difference between swaybar brands. But ring up the two companies and ask them where they get their spring steal from. If they get em from the same place, they're gonna be pretty damn similar.

The particular source of steel is not important. The diameter(s) of the sway bar & the length of the lever arms are the important things. So check the outside diameters & the inside diameters also if the bars are hollow.

Sorry, my mistake, I made a couple of assumptions there, just thinking we were comparing brands. Checking the diameter is a must when buying swaybars, I dont think there are any Australian companies that make hollow swaybars though, so that makes things a bit easier. Arm lengths dont have to be worried about too much as they have to be kept pretty constant to fit the car.

hey i got new front one you can have it for 100, it is the adjustable type. Left over from my RB26 conversion.

it funny actually as i pulled a full set of cuscos out to fit whiteline ones to the S13. Thw whiteline ones offered a better solution and worked better. They are heavier though.

get the largest gtr rear one and match it with mine and you will be laughing (i left my laptop at home so i dont have the whiteline part numbers in front of me)

i found when i had my R32 that a 24mm (i think) rear sway was absolutely insane for my car drifting........had coilovers and section front and rear camber arms as well, but once the sway was in with just a standard front any corner and the tail would come out with minimal effort. found it nice for my style driving

[CEF11E]

I can 2nd that.

I have an R32 with the following suspension.

whiteline springs and unknown shocks

front castor arms

whiteline adjustable rear swaybar set to medium.

the car drifts like a champ.

no front bar needed.

^^^ you will definately need one for serious drift though.

[salad]

Definitely, the car will be far too oversteery with the stock front bar and you wont have the grip that you need to go fast enough.

^^^^

its all about the "grip" with you Salad.............LOL

-personally i think each to there own, comfort is more important then what people "say" you should have based on there experience.

[r33_racer]

Just talk to SK about anti-roll bars. He is the best person to see for many reasons

In any motorsport your aim is to maximise grip... So what's wrong with trying to get more grip?

Comfort? I dont think so with your 14/12 kg/mm springs
