The sedan guys are raving about them at the moment.Also the anti tramp kit from Capa for the Diff? Just wondering if for $65 it does anything?
beauies Member 209 Member For: 23y 3d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 12/06/06 01:04 AM Posted 12/06/06 01:04 AM I have got both the whiteline swaybars and the capa anti tramp kit.Tramp kit helps but all it is is two pieces of flat steel bar with two bolts that clamp the front of the leafs together. restricting movement. Problems is it keeps braking the centre bolt that holds the leafs together.I've snapped the bolt in three places a couple of times but the bolt can be replaced.they do help a bit. I have taken them off now. I have replaced them with a set of anti tramp leaf springs. They have helped a lot but have also removed them as the ute was a little low with them.Rear swaybar is great in the ute. Instead of the back end rolling around the corner it is sitting flatter and sliding nicely under acceration.The only thing I can say about the swaybars is that it would be nice to have a welded fixing to the diff.Swaybars are highly recommended.
Adam Here since the start... Legacy Donating Member 10,282 Member For: 23y 5m Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 12/06/06 01:15 AM Posted 12/06/06 01:15 AM Have you got any pics?
beauies Member 209 Member For: 23y 3d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 12/06/06 03:43 AM Posted 12/06/06 03:43 AM no photosDue to the fact I spend to much on my ute and can't afford a digital camera....sorry!!!!!
kawerx TerriGhia Legacy Donating Member 206 Member For: 20y 8m 4d Posted 12/06/06 04:04 AM Posted 12/06/06 04:04 AM I used a whiteline rear bar in my ute.I would recomend it.It made it more predictable to oversteer,easier to control(on private roads of course).I only fitted rear bar but would say(from previos experience)that fitting front and rear would do wonders for the BA.Fitting the rear bar seemed to make the lsd work better too IMO.maybe because of weight transfer to the inside rear wheel.swaybars are always the best value spend for handling IMO.
