Oem Sways Vs Whiteline Sway Bars (Pedders)

[INSANITI]

Hi All,

would i get benefit replacing the OEM sways on my 2005 v35 with the Whiteline version that pedders are offering?

[Nightcrawler]

Yes, definitely yes. I love how my V handles with adjustable/stengethened sway bars.

do you haved adjustable coilovers as well to compliment? or just the sways?

I have Tokico oem replacement shocks, Eibach 1.5" lowered heavy duty springs and Godspeed adjustable front and rear swaybars. I have also changed my lower control arm bushes to Nolathane, changed the lower ball joints to Megan Racing versions and have SPC adjustable rear camber rods.

In my experience coilovers for the V35 are much harder than stock, and for daily duties stock items are firm enough for my liking. I ran some cheapy Chinese adjustable coilovers for a time, and they were utter shite compared to the setup I have now.

Sway bars always good =) best $500 I have spent on mods was my sway bars. But I have a 36...made a very big difference in handling.

Hey Andrew, im in a big hesitation whether or not buying a camber kit from Godspeed. I heard versatile feedbacks from these Ichiba replica. Some say its s*** some says its worth buying some says you pay for wat u get n hence its each to their own. I intended to buy also the GSP front n rear sway bars but then one gud used Hotchkis set came up n i bought it. Now im about to upgrade my suspension n would like to get a nice camber kit to compliment. Would you recommend GSP ?

Thanks

Hi Justin, no I would not recommend Godspeed for camber arms. They are cheap, and for an integral component like camber arms you want better quality. I am perfectly happy with the GSP swaybars, but they are just a piece of tubular metal - not a threaded and adjustable item like camber arms.

anyone here has had experience with the white line sways from pedders?

whats is the standard diametre for our V35? I have a 2005 coupe model.

[Commsman]

Check on the Stagea forum. Dale (Daleo) sells Whiteline swaybars for V's as well as the various Stagea models.

He provides excellent service & cheaper than in stores afaik.

They made an amazing difference to my cars' handling.

I was in the market recently for suspension components and did quite a bit of searching/calling around - i'll give you a rundown of where I found mine in case it helps. They may be cheaper than pedders.

1) Whiteline swaybars from GSL RallySport - they had a promotion of 30% off the whiteline website RRP price over Xmas.

2) Whiteline end links from Dale - he gave me a great price!

3) Hard race camber kit - front + rear - Justjap.

4) BC Coilovers - Justjap.

5) Complete set of whiteline bushings, front + back - onlineautomotive. A good $10+ off whiteline RRP for each.

As to the handling improvements I can't say... I'm waiting for the swaybars to arrive until I install the lot. From what I've heard it's a marked difference.

Well whiteline are solid sways and OEM are hollow. I havent done sways yet, but i have driven a coupe with whiteline sways, BC BR coilovers and front and rear bracing and it was perfect!

I will get around to doing them one day

[INSANITI]

i have decided not to lower my car as i usually have passengers. I wonder if the whiteline sways still perform better than standard?

or maybe i shouldnt do it at all if i wont up grade my suspension?

[colin.ssc]

The after market sway bars will make a big difference by itself.

[Trex]

I have a c34 so they're set up differently than your car. I've got thicker sway bars F+R and you could feel the weight difference. When i first drove it i noticed the difference in the first turn i took.

I was like you, i wanted better handling without lowering the car so i bought swaybars, and they did wonders! The car was setup perfectly for the street. Obviously I'm looking at lowering it and even better handling now.

[INSANITI]

Anyone know the specs of our oem sway?

[ka86]

Those with aftermarket Swaybars, any issues with aftermarket exhausts? I know the rear sway bar has one bend for the exhaust but wasn't sure how much clearance there is, say for example the Whiteline bars.

It would depend on obviously on the hangars and exhaust size, I'm yet to check clearance.
