Whiteline Heavy Duty Adj Front & Rear Sway Bars

Postby GTSPECB STI » Wed Sep 24, 2008 5:58 pm

Just collected my car from Wheels World here in Perth. They supplied the heavy duty adj sway bars and installed them for me along with a wheel alignment. Cost of sway bars was $490 and install was $120, and alignment was $100.

I can't wipe the smile off my face after some spirited cornering! The stock bars are hollow and half the weight of the whiteline bars if that. Massive difference and in my view one of the first mods you should look at as others have pointed out. :D

I put a rear whiteline adjustable sway bar on the wagon yesterday, feels much better on the damn roundabouts here in Canberra. What added benefit is a front one? I already have a strut brace - would it be worth getting the front as well?

did you also fit the rear sway mounting brackets?...... a bit of angle bar that fits over the oem sway bar mounts for reinforcement
Not a soobi anymore, but still slightly dirty

Hi Tony

Nope I spoke to John at Wheels World about this. He said he didn't believe it was required but would have done it if I requested it.

cheers Dave

My suspension tuner recommended doing both to remove all understeer and then a good wheel alignment. I have a fair bit of faith in him as he does alot of subaru's, evo's and porkas here in Perth.

STI (D'lands) did mine last time at the service, cost me less than 50, not sure if it was because it was at the same time. But it can't be that much more. It's hard to compare prices between WA and VIC though.
