It comes with new bushes but unlike rears you have to use old links.

yeah, i tht the same thing wen i got my whiteline front sway bar kit..

no drop link kit..lol

but thats how they come..

anyways it felt so much better with the swaybar upgrade ay!

best money spent on the suspension eso far :P

i got an extra-heavy duty non-adjustable swaybar...

i think from memory its 27mm...

still to get the rear done..i just want less understeer...and its pretty much gone! :)

wat u end up getting?

you might want to hold off on the rear sway bar - they reduce traction out of corners and affect ride more than the front sway bar I found.

LOL i thought i was missing something too when i got mine. Good to know they dont come with them.

I have installed the front swaybar only. Will do the rear when i have time these holidays.

bumble bee - so the front swaybar alone made the car understeer less? I thought the rear was needed to dial out the understeer on r32's?

yeah bumble bee man has it arse backwards. stiffer front bar will give MORE understeer. to get rid of understeer you want a stiffer rear bar.

If you only have budget for 1 swaybar I would get the rear first, then do the front.

yeah most cars already have a fairly hefty front bar as from the factory they want to dial out any tendency to oversteer so they put a big front bar on to induce some understeering when pushing hard,

Yeah that makes sense. When mines pushed hard in the mountains round tight corners it just understeers heaps and the s14 infront pulls away lol

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
