whiteline adjustables sways adjustments

Postby irwin83r » Sat Nov 03, 2007 4:39 pm

hey all.

just went to adjust my front bar and make it a little stiffer and realised its already on the hard of the TWO settings.. is the front bar only meant to have 2? the rear has 3...? i seem to remember someone on here saying they had their front on the medium setting.. wouldnt that mean theres 3?
what are other people running?

mine has 3 holes front rear aswell.

i use front med, rear soft.

i tried hard front and back but on rough roads it was skipping a bit instead of letting the shocks work properly (teins) if you do track work i'd try hard

it's up to you but having the rear a little softer will make it less twitchy

They may of done without the soft on the front due to possible rubbing on shocks??? or inabillity to get the end links to reach?? for memory the racing beat ones only have 2

i'd be measuring the hole centers and comparing them to a 3 hole bar, your bar may not have the softest setting, which in my opinion is useless anyway as most run medium to hard.

Where does yours have room for another hole?

I don't think it's even possible to run on the softest (outermost) setting with the Whiteline bar without aftermarket end links. I've got mine set on medium with factory end links and there's less than 1cm or clearance between the end link and the shock body. With the softest setting the end links will be rubbing the shocks.

The na and nb has the same rear but a different front, so it may well be that the nb one is only supposed to have 2 holes.

if it were meant to have three the two holes i do have would be soft and medium.

it looks like theres meant to be another hole.. but if someone with an NB whiteline front bar could confirm that would be sweet... if not i guess ill have to look at other ways of firming up the front :P

Probably meant to have two.
This won't help you but the front adjustable bar for the NC only has two holes. The outside hole (softest) matches the lever lenght of the standard bar but is 67% stiffer.

got in touch with mania who got in touch with white line and yeah only meant to be two holes..

however the car did feel better with the new alignment but id dunno.. still think theres more to be gotten out of the cars handling.. maybe i should upgrade from streets to something more motorsport developed..?
