Hi guys

So I installed front sway bar on my rsv rwd stagea with the whiteline kit and something doesn't seem right with the links its making a knocking noise while driving.also have rear sway bar but couldn't figure out where I could fit it as rwd stagea doesn't come with a stock sway bar.

Took it to pedders they wernt much help just said part might be wrong but I checked the part numbers with whiteline website and they were the same pedders couldn't figure out how to mount rear sway bar either which is a bit lame considering they meant to be suspension specialists.

Any one fitted sway bars to rwd before?

I'll try a pic upload soon

the rwd does have the mounting points for the swaybar. You need to get the u brackets for it.

It also needs spacers where the links bolt on as the rwd track is wider and the brackets need slotting out a bit to fit on.

you can get away with no spacers, just means links are at a mad angle.

Not sure whats going on with the front, I still have my stock front one.

You are using the front sway bar links in the wrong position.

Pedders are clearly a bunch of absolute retards if they couldn't tell you that.

The link is supposed to point upward toward the mounting point on the hub assembly.

This is what it should look like assembled;

To use the front 2 positions on the swaybar; you need to flip the link around, so the threaded section faces the rear of the car.

This link is a KLC108;

The KLC109 is the link you require for the rear.

As Ben said; you'll require a pair of "D" bush shells and bolts to mount the rear, but the kit contains everything else you need.
I hope this helps.
If you need any further assistance, feel free to contact me; I'm happy to help you.

Thanks for the help guys.

Dale the picture you have provided looks different to my setup,my sway bar goes above control arm and link bolts downward onto it.

its like the links that were provided are not the right ones the picture of the klc109 links would suit better to the front sway bar i have some pictures of stock links and sway bar below which are completely different to what I got from whiteline klc108.

Ben Im not sure if what your saying is what i have but theres a picture below with what i have that came with rear sway bar.

Your pics show the stock links. I got a set of KLC109 from Dale and now have a much better fit.

What you're saying suggests the front suspension you have is more like an S14 than an R33 then.

Would you say the arrangement of the links is more like this pic? The link is slightly obscured by the brake mounting bracket, but you get the idea.

If it does; this is the link you need for the front. KLC107.

Can you return them for a refund/exchange?

Even if you have to take a slight hit on the price, or you might be able to onsell the KLC108's to an R33 or AWD Stagea owner at a slight loss.

I get these at heavily discounted prices; I could help you with the KLC107's if you like.

Unfortunately can't really help you with the KLC108's, we might still be able to salvage something for you?

Let me know.

Ben thanks for the pic just didn't know what you meant by the u bracket I do know by looking at the pic.so I bought a sway bar kit for my car I thought that it would come with everything to install them on my Car as its called a kit.

Dale that's exactly the same setup as my car so will contact whiteline on Monday see if I can exchange links and find out why I don't have all parts for rear sway bar.

Ben just wondering which u bracket you used and where from also did you have to drill holes to mount?

I used a stagea brackets from a wrecker, 10 bucks, but they are the same for heaps of cars.

No drilling required, the nuts are there to bolt into.

Like I said you will have to slot the holes on the brackets though due to the rs rear end being wider.

    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
    • Being a race car, and being in the era of the Arduino, one would think it would take little effort to build a controller to do the spraying based on a real physical measurment. Waaaaay back in the dim dark AS days, JE "designed" (as in, he had help) a microcontroller based intercooler spray system. It watched the difference between a temp sensor stuck on the core and one in the free air in front of the cooler, and if the temperature difference exceeded a (settable) threshold, it would activate the sprays. Thus, it only ran water when there was an actual need for water. If you stop to think about the actual physical things that are going on in that stack of coolers, there's probably at least a couple of triggering conditions one could come up with, and one could probably even run one pump with more than one solenoid valve, to allow water to be placed where it is needed, or at all points at once (if it is needed at all points). We're in the age of science baby. But.... I suspect that intercooler water sprays are on the forbidden list in most circuit classes, no? So only good for Targa type stuff?
    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
