Sway Bars for 1999 NB Turbo

Postby Forced Fives » Tue Jan 30, 2007 2:47 pm

Hi all,

Just after a little advice from those who have fitted aftermarket sway bars to thir cars. I have a 1999 10AE turbo which does bits an pirces on the track and probably about 4000km per year on the road. The car runs Azenis 651's (215/40 x 17) and lowered springs.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm very happy with Racingbeat, a tad exy but well worth the $$$$.
It's also worth investing in the rear subbrace and the extra front bar mounts if your doing track work imo
Very slightly modified 10AE #2562 ..... one of 149 in Australia :wink:

I have adjustable Whitelines front and rear for my NA6 and they have been great. Adjustable are good for setting the front/rear bias to suit your driving.

They are relatively priced, well made but a tad heavy. I don't see much difference between Whiteline or Racing Beat unless you're talking about the tubular ones, which are much lighter.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Be careful that the rear bar is not going to be too stiff.
While a stiff rear bar feels OK on the street, on the track it can make the car VERY tailhappy.

i've gotta say I am very happy with my adjustable whitelines on my 90 na6, you can set them full soft and it still feels firmer than std but good for comfy street driving and then you can move the link to make it feel very tight like a gokart.

Basically the only differences with different swaybars are:
diameter
distance from corner to the link
and if it is solid or tubular

if your going to put adjustable swaybars in, make sure you get yourself some adjustable endlinks.. well worth the extra cash..
