hey all

just wondering how much of an upgrade the rear swaybar is? i've got the EL GT one for up front, but haven't decided if i should leave the rear one, or upgrade to GT or higher specs?

cheers! :)

Go 30mm front and rear. The only thing swaying in the car then would be your balls.

And the a** end of his car swaying around corners sideways :shock:
I wouldn't put a matched bars front and rear in a falc'.
Rear has less weight remember.
I'm guessing Fraser does like driving straight sometimes...
I believe the rear whiteline one is 24 or 25, something like that.
That will match nicely with the EL GT IMO...

Resists bodyroll.
Changing bar tension front-to-rear is also the easiest and most effective to alter your cars 'balance' between under and oversteer.
