October 20, 200620 yr #101 I recokon even someone who isnt mechanically minded could swap the bars over.←Geez, the VT-VZ commy's actually need the engine dropped at the front I believe to fit a new bar and the labout cost is more like $180.
October 26, 200619 yr #102 Ahhhhh I was so keen for the Whiteline after reading this thread but I just got quoted $174 for the bar and $90 to have it fitted up here in Townsville. Damn North Queensland! Cheers←Just ordered mine today, through my local mechanic for $150 including fitting for the 27mm non-adjustable front swaybar, if you buy it through the net its $164 and you also pay for shipping and then fitment. Try and see if you can get it at the trade price and fit it yourself. My local bloke ordered it through Repco.Im in Sydney, so im sure your going to pay somewhat more that far North.
October 26, 200619 yr #103 Got my 27mm front, and 22mm rear whiteline adjustable swaybars done yesterday (Wed), and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Both are set on the softer of the two settings at the moment, though I may move the front one to the stiffer setting.Cornering is so much improved, it's fantastic. Coupled with the Bilsteins, I reckon this is the best handling I could squeeze out of the car, with the exception of going for a full coilover setup.I can now test the limits of the Michelin PS2s without worrying about flipping onto the roof. Great stuff.

Took me an hour to fit including cup of tea and bickies, saying good night to the kids, and a bloody good test drive. What a great mod.
October 27, 200619 yr #105 $150 including fitting??!!!?? where about's was this Iconic Bionic? Sounds like a fantasic price compared with what I have had so far (eg $160 supply plus $90 to fit)....
October 27, 200619 yr #106 Jim from C&V returned my call this afternoon, He quoted me $1550 for Bilsteins all round and whiteline sway bars front and back, fitted. Very temptedHe also sugested Teins coilovers for $2800, I wish ←Yes I think Tein are the way to go and add $600 and you can electronically change settings from inside car. Big bickies but worth it if you are spending big dollars on HP.
October 27, 200619 yr #107 Whats the part number of the sway bars you guys have fitted? There seems to be a few different ones listed on th Whiteline website ie adj, h/huty, x h/duty. Thanks,

November 3, 200619 yr #109 27mm front swaybar fitted today. Just what the car needed, more direct in pointing and shooting the nose into and out of corners, but I have also just realised how loose the rear end is. At times it feels like its going to run over the top of me, so I will be getting the back done soon.What a great little cheap mod.
