Hi suspension guru's,

Ok a few weeks ago I got my self some whiteline swaybars the front (BNF24Z) was 24mm, The back one (BNR11Z) is 20mm with 2 adjustments, well i noticed that the group buy bar is 22mm with 3 adjustments, how much stiffer is the 22mm bar and my question is would it be worth while upgrading to the 22mm bar?? I already have the back bar on the hardest setting and the front on the second hardest.

heres a video of the car in action if your bored

I found the 20 mm rear bar to be too small, hence why the Group Buy has the 22mm. The extra adjustment hole (softer) is to bring the 22mm bar down similar to the highest setting on the 20 mm bar.

The symptom of too small a rear bar is mid corner understeer that persist even with the bar on the highest setting. The only reason I would use a 20 mm rear bar is if the car has lots of power (280 rwkw plus) and hence tends to power oversteer on corner exit. Even then I would probably upgrade to the 26 or 27 mm front bar rather than downgrade to the 20 mm rear.

What springs and shocks do you have in it, as they are relevant as to how much anti roll you can use?

Cheers

Gary

Bilstein shocks and Whiteline springs i believe..

thanks gary,

yes has the GB springs/shocks, looks like i'll be getting the bigger bar then. Can you tell me how much stiffer the bar gets with each hole of adjustment (for the 22mm)

      I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
