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

[zero'sR32]

oh ok that explains it.

i thought maybe i was missing something...

[bumble_bee]

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

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?

[Beer Baron]

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.

[Bennett]

Sweet, i put my front one in it actually handles worse. Cant wait to put the rear one in and on the stiff setting.

Should make it handle heaps better.

[Beer Baron]

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
