I have dfinally had enough of the TEIN suspension and have replaced them with stock items. I did this mainly due to the fact that I am dragging the car a lot and need softer suspension.

Anyway I still want it to handle so am looking for new sway bars for front and rear to stiffen up the body roll around corners. Has anyone else changed their sway bars on their R32? If so where did you get them and how much of a difference did it make.

Your help with this is appreciated.

Yeah I have a full whiteline kit on my 32. I have bilstein shocks with rsr springs which are not vey stiff but the car still handled very well, once I put all the other stuff on it made the car a little stiffer but made it stick to the road a lot better, into, through and out of corners.

When I did mine though I changed front and rear swaybars, front castor rod bushes to increase caster, all the rear bushes inluding upper control arms with offset bushes to reduce neg camber and lower control arms with normal bushes. I also used the urethane diff rings. I would probably do this at the same time as they are not that expensive.

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
