I have 24mm front and 22mm rear non-adjustable but that's cause I bought them for a steal at $150 for the pair. The car does have a bit more roll than I'd really like but is really very predictable when drifting on track at fairly high speeds (3rd gear 100+km)

Good to get more feedback, but i guess its not just the bars its the whole setup that needs to work together :)

Massive amounts of info here!

My thought process is:

1. Tein work pretty closely with Nissan so therefore my springs are matched nicely

2. Whiteline would test their products before releasing them and therefore HD front should match up to HD rear?

With the adjustable ones, do they set themselves looser or tighter than fixed? ie. does the second mount point go harder or softer than the equivalent fixed bar?

But how do they compare to a fixed bar?

From what you guys are saying, combined with checking out the specs on the site, I'm thinking I might go BNF24Z (Front, HD, 24mm, 4 point adjustable) and BNR11XZ (Rear, XHD, 22mm, 2 point adjustable).

No probs. They compare exactly the same as the fixed bars. The only difference is you have the flexibility to adjust if required. The only reason someone wouldn't get adjustable is if they didn't want to spend the extra. But to me, if your talking $50-60 a bar difference, just get adjustable and know that you can swap it around if required. I've never adjusted mine after installation, but one day it might be fun to try out and see what different settings do.

Errr man, that is a bit big.... What you measuring boi? :P

I would like to see how such big bars go anywhere near the body mounting locations!!

FWIW, it pays to remember that bar stiffness goes up with the 4th power of diameter. On that basis a 33mm bar is more than twice as stiff as a 27mm bar, and a 27 is already more than twice as stiff as a 22. Ergo, a 33 would be simply massive stiffness on a road car. Massive.

Check measurement with proper vernier required.

hrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmm well i used a ruler and then measuring tape...still got the same measurements. maybe i need to go back to primary school? totally fine with someone coming to check them out for me too =)

Lolololol..... All good, but i think your "tools" are a bit primitive :P

Good point my setup is as follows:

BC BR Coilovers 8kg F 6kg R (whatever the standard spring rates are believe that is correct)

Whiteline swaybars as before (24mm F 22mm R)

I also have lock collars for rear subframe (whether that makes a difference)

Adjustable arms all over and locked out my hicas

Similar setup to mine but i have the 27mm and 24mm bars...

What about 24 at the front and an adjustable 24 mm at the rear?

Per my first reply in this thread I have 24mm adjustables front and rear on an R32. So, not an R34, and therefore possibly a bit different. Nevertheless, having recently replaced all the other suspension components on my car (the new springs being a bit stiffer than the old ones) the adjustables are set the same as before (hard at front, soft at rear) my car has a definite tail happy characteristic mid corner. I take that to mean that what I posted in my first reply is even more valid than before - which is that your mileage may vary. What result you get really does depend on everything else in the car. R34s seem to require a little more bar at the front. So if it were me thinking about fitting 24s front and rear on a 34, I would still only do so with adjustables both ends so that I can add stiffness at the front as well as remove it at the rear.

If I were running stiff coilovers on a 34, I think I wouldn't go further than 24F22R (adjustable). If I were running Kings or similar springs that are not much firmer than stock, then I might prefer 27F24R (both adjustable still).

I don't see the value in saving a few $ on buying a fixed bar if there is an adjustable bar available. If you buy the fixed, you have to live with the result. You'll never know if it could have been just a bit nicer if you'd been able to adjust it.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
