Cusco Swaybars For Drift, Your Thoughts?

[White GTS-T]

Hey, i was just wondering what people thought about using Cusco Swaybars for drifting, in regards to R32's?

I always thought a stiffer rear would make the car more prone to oversteer but i read that some people are using Whiteline 24mm front and 22mm rear.

Is it because of the cost difference (which is massive) or the lack of adjustability that people go with Whiteline?

Cost difference and adjustability means Whiteline is a smart option.

I think that 30mm rear bar would be hollow, but if it isn't that's FAR too big on the rear.

For drift I guess you do want it a bit oversteery, but you dont want it rediculously oversteery, you still want a lot of rear grip for speed.

Both salad and i run the 27mm front and 24mm rear and its still quite oversteery, pretty good tho! i reckon the 30mm would be wayw ay way overkill and be a real bitch on the street too!

I've managed to get mine pretty neutral with 7/5 spring rates and front on hard and rear on soft, still a bit taily sometimes, but I put that down to lack of rear camber (was only 1deg).

I've got a solid 30mm bar on the front, its good if the road is smooth... Dead set you dont want 30mm on the rear. May as well just weld it all up if you were going to do that. Assuming its a solid bar.

Well I'm sold. You guys definitely know what your talking about when it comes to sliding 32's.

I didn't know Whiteline made a 27mm front swaybar for 32's? Unless the R31 (BNF25Z), R33 GTS (BNF24X) swaybars fit?

For future reference do you have the part numbers? all i can find for 32's is as follows:

(F) "Swaybar-H/Duty Blade Adjustable BNF28Z 22mm"

® "Swaybar-X H/Duty Blade Adjustable BNR26XZ 24mm"

From the Whiteline catalogue.

Cheers

Whiteline dont list them, but they do make them. Simon and I got ours through the groupbuy.

on whiteline 24front 22rear.with the rear set to full hard when i go out drifting.the car feels very predictable when it is sideways.id like to run some more camber from for better traction but will stick with what i have.also i run urethane pineapples set to standard.

what are peoples thoughts on the "drift pineapple" setup?does it really make that much of a difference?when do they come into play the most.everywhere,on entry,when sideways???

im not trying to hijack your thread.

I run the rear 24mm bar on full soft and with the right springs/shocks and 27mm bar set on middle it works really well. Really happy with it.

Regarding the 27mm front swaybar, did other find it fitted ok?

[salad]

I found that the link pin would only be verticle on the hardest setting. It was damn near impossible to get it onto soft.
