and boy what a difference!
It's no lotus but the handling is noticable better and you can push it alot harder through corners without ending up leaning against the door or falling out the window 
There's only one problem, now I need * Better front tyres to stop understeer as bodyroll is no longer the first limiting factor. * More supportive seats * Better brakes as I can push it harder through corners 
I know it's no news flash but I just thought I'd reiterate what's been said before by others who've found the joys of whiteline swaybars. Best $200 I've spent in a while. PS: Make sure you have a long 18mm socket if you're going to fit it yourself, I didn't have one and it took me 30 minutes to undo 2 nuts using a ring spanner and shifting only one tooth at a time!

Nah just a fixed 30mm one. I figured I'd never bother fiddling with it so I went straight for a big stiffie (tm)

Uprating the rear swaybar now will help reduce the understeer, giving the car more grip at the front & more balanced handling.

Yeah, I concur. Go the 24mm rear Hyena. Was 160 off the top of my head. Awesome bang for buck!

I've heard of people running 2. How do you mount the 2nd one though ? I can see where you could fit a 2nd one on that rod runs down past the shock but how do you fix it to the under part of the chassis where the other 2 brackets are ?? The front was about 180-190 from memory, I got it through Brad (Waggin) but it was over a year ago so I can't remember! And yeah I think I might have to go with the 24mm rear bar now, although I'm trying to stop spending money on this damn car!

Of course he would have taken a year. Afterall the man has died and then pulled a Lazarus... But he isn't a miracle worker and can't do every thing to his car at once

haha yeah gimme a break, it was a long climb back out from hell
I only just took possession of the swaybar last week, Brad has had it for over a year and we keep missing each other or he forgets to bring it to meets or what ever (and I was too lazy to drive an hour to go pick it up )
Besides, it's become my trademark to start a few mods at and then take a year to finish them
Speaking of which, I must finish fitting my bodykit and indash screen... I've got this vibration that kicks in around 120 that I think is the uni joints so when I do those shortly I might do the rear swaybar as well. I just fitted 255 bridgestone SO2s under the bum last week so that has knocked the traction issues in 2nd on the head and it grips much better through first unless I really floor it to launch hard, so combined with the new swaybars the car is feeling much better to drive. I guess it's just placebo affect but it seems quicker since I've done the front bar!
