Just tryin to find out a little bout sway bars. how much difference they make and if they worth while getting. at the moment i got levells super lows and new sports shocks all round but the car is still pretty s**t round the corners, like will the sway bars stop some of the body roll u get in the falcons?

Yep. They sure will. Fatter Swaybars are, IMO, one of the most effective handling upgrades you can do to a falc.

yeah, sway bars definately seem the way to go, they use the wheels to keep the chassis flat.
I should be handing over my hard earneed tonight for some... "Mum, can i borrow your dredit card?" |

it's also a bad idea to go too heavy on the swaybars....

True, but nowhere as bad as fitting ridiculously low springs matched with dampers that can't exert control over them. Much rather drive a car with excessive anti-roll control, then one with excessively low springs and fully compressed dampers.

I think all the whiteline ones are adjustable. Not too expensive. Around $160 I think if you install it yourself. Give them a call.

Yeah Whiteline make both adjustable and non adjustable I have a set and they are excellent, keep the car much flatter around corners almost as good as the Selby ones on my GTHO

They'd be almost as good as the Selby's cause Selby = Whiteline!

So when you say not too heavy, does that relate to the thickness? what size would be good for an EF on King Spring Lows?

What's EL GT? 27mm front? I think whitelines are 30mm front 24mm rear. XR is 27mm front and 22mm rear? I think? I actually don't know what the rear is :p, but front is definately 27mm...

I've been quoted $250 for a whiteline adjustable swaybar at Fulcrum. But they want $40 for an hour labour to fit it.
