C34 Stagea Sway Bar Group Buy

[wolverine]

The number I quoted was from the horses mouth (John??) when Whiteline replaced the rear bar on the RS4S all those years ago because the first one didn't fit. Admittedly the number is from memory. I am not sure whether they tested the factory bar or not but I reckon it was his best guess.

It will be interesting to see what Whiteline come back with.

Dude, not disagreeing with you on this at all. I'm sure you are right on the money.

There was a spreadsheet I saw a while back on the forum; but I can't seem to dig it up right now.

Hmmm. I'm guessing the rear ones are 260RS compatible (since you list 2WD). Can you confirm?

The 260RS has the narrow subframe right? The rear will be fine if that's the case.

In reply to those concerned about the suitability of the GB bars for Auto applications; I've appropriated some images to illustrate the difference. The knowledgable C34 owners have told me the difference in width is 50mm (wider on Autos, narrow on manuals) the bar is narrow to suit the GTR subframe.

Disregard the text; it relates to the thread length on the links from the original thread.

As you can see the links do sit at an angle, but using the H/D Ball Links in the GB would see them not anywhere near as stressed; due to there increased articulation.

The horizontal thread is 35mm in length, what I'm proposing is for those that need it; I will supply a pair of 12mm long Stainless Steel spacers to fit on the thread to correct the angular misalignment.

This will still leave plenty of thread to lock the nuts on and the thread is High Tensile anyway (no bending). It won't completely eliminate the misalignment, but it will drastically reduce it. They'll cost $10.

Let me know what you think.

Thus far, there have been no orders made for bars; I am surprised at the lack of interest. The C34 Stagea owners that have bars fitted appear very satisfied with the results and have been very encouraging; I am at a loss to know why others would not the same benefit.

Cheers, Dale.

Hi Dale

I am interested in these but unlikely to have the money before the 15th (waiting on the tax man). What would I be looking at for a full kit posted to Tassie 7250?

Thanks

Tim

I'm limited to 20kg max, by auspost. A pair of bars swings in at 14kg. Give me a postcode, & I'll PM you; it's cheaper than you think.

Cheers, Dale.
