Whiteline made some upgraded swaybars so I am presuming someone still has them. The sizes are on the forum somewhere from an old sydneykid group buy in the stagea section. With an RS4S you already have larger swaybars than the auto versions so an upgrade isn't as big an upgrade compared to other C34 owners. Nevertheless they can be upgraded from 19mm solid front to 22mm solid, rear is 24mm hollow to 24mm solid. If you order them be 100% sure the rear will fit an RS4S the subframe is narrower ie R33GTR rear bars should fit.

Movement in the bar might indicate a snapped swaybar link?!?

You can replace the front castor rod bushes but adjustable front castor rods with urethane bushes is the way I went.

The rear of the car also runs out of camber adjustment so rear arms are usually needed to stand the rear wheels up a bit. Eccentric bushes don't give you enough adjustment.

"Lubed every bush I could see....." this thread is delivering like an episode of Benny Hill.

Hey wolverine,

Thanks for all the info, its all very much appreciated. Where i live its hard to just go and talk to someone about the car, most people don't evan know what it is lol. I'll do some digging around here and on the interwebs. I will post a solution if i get one in the next year. Its always good to let others know just incase they have the samer problem,

Thanks a lot guys. Any more suggestions are always welcome though! :)

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
