    Default Ae71 good swaybar sizes + vn swaybar

    use - street/drift

    problem - good size swaybars for street

    Hey guys,

    hoping to start ordering some suspension parts soon and wondering what is a good size front swaybar for daily/drifter? i've seen alot of guys running 24mm fronts? and a good size for rear?

    my setup should be like this:
    ae86 coilovers, xt130 arms, hoping lsd diff, cambertops, front and rear strut brraces, panhard rod, 7kg front springs and 5kg rears.

    also, is there any truth to Vn commo rear swaybars bolt into the rear?

    cheers guys, ben.

    i bought a 24mm selby front bar fairly early on and understeered like fck. ive resently just bought an adjustable rear and feels so much better now, much more balenced. it took a few adjustments on the rear bar to get it right. so i'd doubt i would of got the right rear bar.
    which brings me to my other point if you get a front bar get a rear bar as well because it almost handles worst (i don't know about a rear bar and no front)

    i've got a vn rear in mine, cost like 25 from centre rd wreckers, will need 2 drill out the e7 rubber diff mounts bigger, try to drill the rubber so the sway bar is more forward as its hard to get on to begin with.

    and yes its quite bigger compared to the e7 one

    just a rear ADJUSTABLE will be fine for drifting. will help the car to hold the slide for longer.

    id prob keep standard swaybars for street grip driving.
