    Running 15x10 -12 superlights
    I could probably try a ke70 swaybar and yeah I have contemplated running no bar but the positives seem to outweigh the negatives

    10" is your issue, run 15x8 -4 superlite and you get 17mm more inner clearance but your outside position is 33mm further in, run 30mm bolt and boom 2" more clearance

    If the ke70 one doesnt work out, I would just look at getting a custom swaybar made up.

    We got some done for some landcruisers about 2 years ago and they didnt cost much more than a whiteline one. You give them the measurements and they will bend one up exactly to your specs..Cant remember the name of the mob, but I know theyre in Sydney somewhere....

    Other than that, it might feel fine to drive without a front swaybar, seeing the car is only for skids. You might need to remove or adjust the rear one to get the balance right, it all depends on how you drive and what feels good to you.

    Yeah that's another option that I'm looking at, probably the most cost effective solution, I'd love to take the bars out and run it like that etc too just to feel it out and see what is does differently

    Okay so my setup is now this
    Front:
    -removed swaybar
    -sigma lca's (shortened 10mm)
    -ae86 struts w/ HSD coil conv w/ae92 length inserts and 7kg/mm springs
    -t3 cambertops & uppder hat system
    -knuckles cut and corrected (about 50mm shorter)
    -40mm rca's
    - stock caster arm's wound all the way forwars.
    -camber set at -4*
    -toe set at as close to zero as possible by eye but possibly up to -1*

    Rear:
    -GAZ comp coilovers w/ 6kg/mm springs
    -stock swaybar
    -equal length upper/lower trailing arms
    -panhard shortened
    -all new urethane bushes

    This setup feels absolutely amazing and could not recommended a setup like this more, definately very oversteerish but it isn't ridiculous and annoying, had a blast with how it felt.

    Yeah I'd say that is where the oversteerish tendancy is coming from, and I'd say that a stiffer rear bar would make it more so
