Sway Bars

[Proximity Motorsport]

hey,

well i was going to buy some whiteline sway bars but the thread started on here wont get back to me so im going into autobahn tomoro to buy some. I was just wondering what size is best for drift... ive been told thick front good and slightly skiny rear and good traction.... but if i want to set up car for drift is fat rear good??

ANyone recommend some thicknesses for r32 gtst 4 door for front and rear whiteline sway bars.

thanks

i would just be pacient with sydney kid as auto barn is a fair bit more expensive than the group buy.

from what i have read you may aswell get the thickest front and back and adjustable.

autobahn was cheaper actualy. that was trade + pick up. saved about $60

actualy autobahn are $20 more expensive each than SK but i need these urgently.. Im going in today to sort things out with them. I know a few guys who work there so i get it fairy cheap. I dont know about saving $60?? I know commodores are cheaper to buy for than skylines so maybe u have a diff make of car... i dont know... maybe you got lucky.... but me mate told me he cant do them for $189 cause thats prettymuch what they pay after they have it delivered to thre store.

Anyways... i think i might get the fattest ones i can.. thanks guys

If the autobarn guys can't guarantee that the bars will have minimum 3 hole adjustment (they usually have 2 hole these days) then get 24mm front, 24mm rear. It will be the only way you can balance the car.

If they are only 2 hole then you will need to set the front on hard and the rear on soft and that should be fairly balanced. If you want the thing more taily then put them both on hard.

If you go bigger on the front without the 3 hole (minimum) adjustment either end then you will not be able to dial out the understeer.

noobie q.

what are the advantages of getting one of these over the stock sway bar?

[sloazr33]

thicker sway bars (anti roll bars) will reduce the amount of roll the car has when entering a turn

ie. the cars sits flatter when going through a corner

[tjandriesen]

Swaybars are the single best enhancement you can do for the handling of your car. They essentially link the sides of your suspension and minimize the body roll, which means your car handle much better through corners.

Make sure you buy adjustable swap bars. Adjustable bars allow you to tune in or out understeer/oversteer as required. The incremental cost of adjustable bars over non-adjustable is minimal for what you get in return.

Which sway bars to you all recomend?

[salad]

For skylines, 24mm front and 22mm rear seem to work best with normalish spring rates for street use.. Swaybars work well because they simply have the least downsides for controlling roll compared to the other methods like springs (lose compliance) and low speed bump (lose midcorner grip).
