So, as expected, I was a bit itchy to get the rear sway bar on. It's a 20mm Whiteline Non Adjustable RSB. Very easy installation, I don't think it even took me an hour!
I went for a drive tonight and am stoked with the difference that it has made! I noticed with the S-techs without the HD RSB, it's handling was almost direct but with understeer under WOT coming out of corners, with the right technique, you could get the back to slip out. Now with the RSB installed, there is much less body roll in and out of corners, and under hard cornering, it'll just stick to the road - basically it's point and go....but if you jab it with WOT you can get it tail happy, whilst still being very controlled. Definitely one of my favourite mods!

Comparison stock vs Whiteline 20mm Non Adjustable RSB. Weight between the two is a big difference - stock is hollow and Whiteline is solid.

Side view, you can see the mounting points without HD RSB mounts. I like how the underbody is getting colourlful :lol: one day, I'll get around to painting my entire wheel wells silver. I know there's mixed thoughts about it but I quite like the bright underbody look. Due for a clean under there...
Note, you see how I painted the disc hub silver.... I used a high temp VHT silver with a high temp clear coat. But the paint has been burning near the pad wear area :shock:

And lastly, another exterior shot after a good wash. First time I turned my foglights on in a while, and they look so yellow compared to my 6000k headlights.

Not sure if they do an equivalent 6000k.

Thanks Reuben. I have the 5000k Diamond visions for high beam but keep forgetting to fit bring them to the car to fit them. Not sure if I'll do my foglights though....I bearly have them on in paranoia that the police will ping me for it. Might change my mind to upgrade them in the future though

Great review Nathan, this is the type of feedback I was looking for. Under hard entry into the corners I found the understeer on the car was huge. Im hoping to get this rectified with F&R SB's.

Thanks guys.
:lol: You're not wrong about the 4wd spec, Zach! Some angles it looks alright, but on most other angles the front sits too high for my liking. I think it's because the fronts billies were replaced prior to me owning it, possibly with the newer revalved billies so they don't sit as low as the aging rears, even with the 9mm spacers in the back... Truck spec 225/45/18 tyres don't help the cause either :P

A good excuse to get coilovers, one day!

A decent set of rims and it'd be spot on.

Doesn't look too had currently though. :wink:
