actualy autobahn are $20 more expensive each than SK but i need these urgently.. Im going in today to sort things out with them. I know a few guys who work there so i get it fairy cheap. I dont know about saving $60?? I know commodores are cheaper to buy for than skylines so maybe u have a diff make of car... i dont know... maybe you got lucky.... but me mate told me he cant do them for $189 cause thats prettymuch what they pay after they have it delivered to thre store.

Anyways... i think i might get the fattest ones i can.. thanks guys

If the autobarn guys can't guarantee that the bars will have minimum 3 hole adjustment (they usually have 2 hole these days) then get 24mm front, 24mm rear. It will be the only way you can balance the car.

If they are only 2 hole then you will need to set the front on hard and the rear on soft and that should be fairly balanced. If you want the thing more taily then put them both on hard.

If you go bigger on the front without the 3 hole (minimum) adjustment either end then you will not be able to dial out the understeer.

Swaybars are the single best enhancement you can do for the handling of your car. They essentially link the sides of your suspension and minimize the body roll, which means your car handle much better through corners.

Make sure you buy adjustable swap bars. Adjustable bars allow you to tune in or out understeer/oversteer as required. The incremental cost of adjustable bars over non-adjustable is minimal for what you get in return.

For skylines, 24mm front and 22mm rear seem to work best with normalish spring rates for street use.. Swaybars work well because they simply have the least downsides for controlling roll compared to the other methods like springs (lose compliance) and low speed bump (lose midcorner grip).
