Just Installed Sway Bars

[Phantom32]

so going from stock, what diameter would be best suited as an upgrade for an R32GTST?

currently have coilvoers, adjustable upper arms and am getting castor rods in this week - hoping to install the castor rods and sway bars at the same time but i don't know much about suspension.

What type and diamter are you guys running on your R32 gtst's? And what diameter are the stock ones?

cheers

hahaha, The whiteline factory is only 2km away from my house on the C coast.

im getting

Swaybar - Extra Heavy duty blade adjustable 22m (front) =$195

Swaybar - Extra Heavy duty blade adjustable 22m (rear) =$220.50

Swaybar link kit - Spherical rod end (front) =$117

Swaybar link kit - Spherical rod end (rear) =$153

Seeing as its a GTS-4 i had to get all the GTR products but its still cheap.

getting the top of the line swaybars and links. Because of the discount it makes it that cheap and there standard swaybars and links cost more than the price im getting there best ones for

I keep hearing better stuff and even more popularity with whiteline nowdays.

Im picking up front and rear cusco sway bars this weekend...

How do these compare with whiteline?

[geraus]

hey i just ordered a 20mm adjustable rear sway bar from whiteline... is it good or HD is better cos its biggeR?

[Newy]

noob question: Do you NEED the links? Or is it just a benifit to upgrade?

[Wacky Dee]

I don't think you do ...just checked the web site and it states those parts are for "RACE USE ONLY".

What's the price difference between the adjustable and non-adjustable, does anyone know? Is it worth the extra dough for the adjustable ones? Somehow I suspect once these things are on the car most people would never "adjust" anything..

edit: NO price diff for adj./non adjs apparently according to web site, $229 for a GTT front sway bar + gst.

That's only a warehouse at Somersby, the swaybars aren't manufactured there.

The rear at 22 mm is too small, I always use a 24 mm on the 4wd's

Make sure to fit the dust covers plus greaze and regularly service the spherical links, otherwise they will wear out very fast and knock like crazy.

I need an honest opinion here... would swaybars improve handling for a daily? Or is it only for maniacs who like to take every single corner at high speed?

ABSOLUTELY they improve handling for a daily. They're the best bang for buck handling mod IMO.

How big can you go?

[nisskid]

How big can you go?

as big as u want, but at a certain point they will be too stiff and u will get issues like inside wheel lift which will compromise grip.

u will notice the car sitting a lot more flat, the ride wont be compromised, but in tight parking situations with unlevel ground u will notice more inside wheel lift and the wheel spinning freely (unless u have a mech LSD or locker)

another question: ive picked up a set of sway bars(front seems to be 27mm, rear about 24mm) the on the rear part where it bolts to what i call the link, is vertical rather than horizontal. is there somesort of link kit for this, or have i just got the wrong one. The part came off a 2 door r33, trying to fit to r33 4 door.

[nisskid]

there are different layouts of links, look at the instructions that came with to see which one u need to use.

[r33-sky]

Definately improve handling.

what about bumps/potholes though on a daily ? My understanding of the way antisway bars work is if you hit a pot hole say mid roundabout it would be worse than without them ? Happens a lot in the inner city ..seems whenever I turn, wherever I turn there are friggin potholes

You have a shock absorber problem not a swaybar problem.
