I have used the search function and found out that you can use AE86 swaybars on *e7*'s,
but why does whiteline have different part numbers for both front bars, only the rears are the same part number?

I have a KE70 and was thinking of going the 24mm up front and 18mm rear, depends on the price ill look at the adjustables.

Recently a mate who has a R31 told me about those guys were doing to their cars with the rear swaybar:
Look at "Dual rear sway bars" further down the page here:

I was wondering if anyone has done this to a rolla?

Why would you want to run dual swaybars?????????????????????????????????????????? ?

I have similar swaybars in mine, got them from AJPS. Makes the car sit nice and flat.

BTF35Z
BTR25R

Thats a 24mm adjustable front and 18mm non-adjustable rear.

Becuase I stripped an AE71 and have a spare swaybar, haha
If it can be done and works well, its a cheap mod compared to buying an aftermarket one.

Anyone done this? I read somewhere that people have done this, just can find it now.

Same here, works a treat.

Double sway bars were good in the 80's when you couldn't physically buy an upgraded one for your car, now you can save the hassle and get a proper one thats been tested and comes with stiffer bushes.

i was running duel rear swaybars for ages. very stiff, and free!
i only did it because i had 2 sitting there.

then when i upgraded to a bigger diff i could not fit the 2. so went whiteline non-adjustable 18mm.

i also have a spare laying here and have thought about mounting it as a dual setup.
thought it would sit too low and would cause TOO much oversteer?

Ohh well, I'm gonna try it in a couple of months time anyway just to see how it is.

Thanks for your input.
