Whiteline - bang for buck!! There's cusco too but a little more pricey I think..

http://www.whiteline.com.au/do_segue4.p ... F03-8%2F09

$265 for front/rear swaybars. Also a good idea to upgrade to heavy duty mounts (AVO or something - around $150 maybe??)

You could do end links too but the gains arent there in comparison to sway/mounts

I think Taylor (t.renshaw34) can get Whiteline gear on the cheap. Maybe send him a PM.

$265 each?

Would 22mm non adjustable front and 20mm 2 way adjustable rear be a ideal set up? With the mounts

Was hoping to take advantage of this seller's sale:

Yes $265 each.

Stiffer rear swaybar encourages oversteer and gets rid of the factory 'safe' under steer.. The stiffer you put in the rear (lol) the better.

Ah right so keep them the same or go for bigger rear sway?

If you want a really good deal you can wait for second hand ones. But you might be waiting a while.
I got my front & rear for $200 for the pair :D

It would also appear that there is only the 2 options ie 20mm rear 22mm front adjustable or non, yet with rexies you can go up to 24mm???

24mm would be good for if your doing track work. They are very firm. :)
