Sway Bar Upgrade

[HungarySkyline]

I wanted to get a white line rear sway bar while saving for coil overs for my N/A r33, anyone know what the standard sizes are, i heard some sway bars bolt straight on as a replacement and some need modifications for thicker bars.

Thanks

Only the really massive anti-roll bars* require different chassis brackets. As long as you're not going above the biggest sensible sizes (like about 24mm from Whiteline) then they will bolt straight in, using the new D bushes supplied with the bar.

* There's no such thing as a sway bar.

a sway bar is a device to stop a trailor swaying while being towed,so there is such a thing

OK.....but not in the context of on car suspension.

[lammy426]

very true,but you knew what he was on about standard is 18mm

Thanks for the into guys, ill get the car terminology correct next time, Yeah i was thinking of 24mm in the back , i heard it isnt the smartest idea to only upgrade the rear and not the front because of massive oversteer. Anyone know this to be true?

Yeah you should do both if you can.... I run 27mm front and 24mm rear, each model will have different needs etc, pretty sure Nolathane or one of those sites had a description on how they worked and the effects etc.....

I think the R34 std front bar is an upgrade for R33 but you'd need to search that

True true. You want 24mm adjustables at front and rear. I have a 24mm adjustable at the rear set to the soft setting, and a 22mm fixed at the front. No understeer. Slightly twitchy at the rear. Seems good. I keep thinking about getting a 24mm adjustable for the front. Then I could harden up the rear one and set the front one at soft, probably not change the balance much (or get it more neutral) and stiffen the roll up a little more.
