Swaybars

[Konakid]

swaybars are one of the best mods you can do to your car, if you dont have one id get one in the rear asap.

make the car so much more fun to drive and much more predictable.

Do you think the rear Celica sway bar will bolt up to an ae86? Might be a cheap alternative to an aftermarket rear bar.

It went straight into the KE70, so I expect it will fit the AE86.

I used the Celica bushes as its 1/3 thicker again.

here's the article-

so what if the car is strictly for street daily driven car

is it worth it investing on this aftermarket sway bar?

sorry not tend to hijack the thread, just wanted to gain knowlege since you guys actually using one and experienced this first hands

Thanks for all the help guys, I actually seen that writeup about the RA60 swaybars but I couldn't find one when I was at the wreckers last..
Adjustable sound like the way to go even if I only get that on the front and pick up a ra60 bar if I can find one. Or if I can get a good deal somewhere then they will both be adjustable

Can anyone confirm anything about the front whiteline adjustables fouling on the struts??

Also just for reference my setup is listed below.

Front: HSD sleeve kit, 86 struts, 7kg springs, trd yellows, xt130 lcas, 86 pwr steering arms, whiteline strut brace

Rear: Hilux diff, adjustable panhard, excel g shocks (VL wagon?), cut falcon springs, NO sway bar, traction brackets, adjustable lower arms

as far as the whiteline bars hitting the struts havnt had any issues, its more a relationship of the LCA to the strut then anythign else that would foul.

where abouts are you located?

if its on the cheap, then a thicker rear bar will increase the tendancy to oversteer. however i like a balanced car. so i have both, the rear is as tight as it will go and the front is one step back. this is so that at the limit (depending on tyres etc) the car will oversteer, IMO a 'safer' way to lose grip.

i would ditch the ford springs, they are way too firm for a rolla, even with a hilux diff under it. 7kg front and 5kg rear would be a better match. this is all my opinion though

pm sent regarding whiteline bars.

I had problems with my front calipers hitting the Whiteline Adjustable Front Swaybar, but that was with RX7 4 Piston Calipers. You don't mention brakes so I am assuming STD or JDM.

I might have had some rubbing between strut and swaybar when the car was jacked up, and the wheels drooped to full extension, but when on the ground would correct and not be an issue.

I have since changed from the Whiteline Adjustable front to a CMR Hollow non-adjustable item. Mainly due to the caliper issue, but I also don't like the whiteline adjustable stuff much, it is not very well designed.

Solid anti-roll bars are dead weight. and whiteline's old bushed endlinks on their adjustable ARB's suck.

i had a "upgraded" sway bar on the rear (not sure how big) and the car was stepping out at the top of my gears, which threw the hills just scared me and stopped me from driving quicker. i removed the sway bar and now im much quicker around corners. there is quite a fare bit of body role now though.

if you want it to slide a bigger sway bar will help this, from my experiance
