Hi from ohio usa haha . New to the forum search it often for stuff but need to create a profile to ask ?'s . So it's probably been covered but rwd stageas why did they not come with a rear sway bar and what can I use 🤔 I take it a s14 one will do. I've researched and found the 240sx s14 chassis suspension and steering are compatible. So will that work im building it to drift but currently love to cruise it when it's not being worked on haha. But I feel more control in the rear is needed. Definitely with the lil I've done to the suspension so far it's loose goosey in the rear. Any help would be appreciated thanks and cheers

I'm a little surprised there is no rear bar on your car, any sign that it was there but removed (mounting holes on the control arms and subframe?)

While there are differing opinions on sway bars vs spring rates, I am much happier with the stock boatlike handling being improved with relatively light aftermarket springs and reasonably heavy sway bars at each end.

It kind of depends what your expectations are from the handling, but it is likely just adding a sway bar won't transform a big wagon into a track weapon

 

Yeah I agree and I haven't jumped back under to look for signs that one was there but from the previous hours under it it didn't look like it had one on im the first owner in the US. And as for adding it for a performance mod for my track suspension, that's not my goal per say. at the moment I'm just wanting to get the rear under control a lil more until I get time to test and tune when all the suspension components finally arrive. It's a slow build for me just a project to enjoy and she runs strong rn so in-between down time for mods I keep it street ready if the weathers decent I cruise it to work lol. But my commute is highway and we'll let's just say the roads aren't smooth.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
