Fitted the Whiteline swaybars today guys and man oh man the difference is amazing. :D

Corners I used to have fun on now seem like nothing.

I can't wait for the Tein's to come. :D

Cheers.

Congrats mate! Definitely a great bang for buck mod!

I've managed to get my rear in and with that alone with the C/O's, it's like corners don't exist!! (In terms of body roll that is :wink:)

There might be some C/O's a little further down the mod track. :wink:

Was having a discussion with a guy at work today - do the MY07 GT Spec B's come with sway bars or not ? If so, what's the difference between them and the TBSTi sways ?

Cheers

I believe all the Libs come with sway bars. All of them (including TBSTi) use the same diameter solid sway for the front and hollow sway bar for rear.

Ah, not much point selling him my TBSTi sways to put on his MY07 GTB then :-)

Good work mate! Once you get some new springs &/or shocks it'll feel even better!!! :D

I hope you got a wheel alinement after the install :D

Matt - not diggin at ya mate - just want to understand this. Can you explain for me as I thought sway bars don't change any geometry.

Cheers

While it _shouldn't_ change the geometry, you are pulling a bunch of stuff off and then back on again.

It will dramatically affect how your castor and toe react under load so you may get benefit to setting those alignment values slightly differently as they'll be more consistent now with the firmer geometry setup (ie: less movement away from the set alignment value)

Bottom line is, $50-100 check is cheaper than a set of tyres due to undue wear from a bad alignment after suspension work. ;)
