June 22, 201313 yr #1 Hi all,I'm not sure if this has been covered before.I have a FG XR6 turbo sedan and am considering changing both front and rear sway bars to Whiteline's either regular or adjustable.Will there be much handling improvement over the standard bars and can anyone tell me what is the thickness of the standard XR6T sway bars and how they compare with Whitelines?.Thanks,Sixpack
June 22, 201313 yr #2 Yes mate you will notice an improvement. Have you checked out there websitehttp://www.whiteline.com.au/do_segue4.php?make=FORD&model=FALCON+%2F+FAIRLANE+%2F+LTD&model_final=FALCON+FG+INCL+UTE%2C+G6%2C+G6E%2C+FPV&vehicle=9%2F08-ON
June 23, 201313 yr #3 I put a bar in the front of my BA XR8.. and it made a huge difference.Not so huge difference in my FG F6.
June 28, 201313 yr #4 Author Thanks for the info.I am trying to find the thickness of the factory sway bars that came with my FG XR6T so I can make a direct comparison with the Whiteline.It would be also interesting to know what they used in the FG F6ThanksSixpack
June 29, 201313 yr #5 Think its about 32mm dia on my f6 ute... ive got it in the shed still. the whiteline I put in is adjustable 33mm from memory
June 29, 201313 yr #6 I think the fg xr6t is around 32-33 mm, or something like that, but isn't solid whereas whiteline is. Have heard from someone who does a lot of track work that the solid makes a big difference.
June 30, 201313 yr #7 Author ThanksI may have to get hold of a vernier and measure the thickness of what's on my vehicle.Sixpack
July 18, 201313 yr #8 Author I bought a vernier on ebay and took some measurements Front 32mm Rear 18mmNext would be to compare against the Whiteline std and adjustables to see if it is worth the change though I'm a bit concerned if my standard bars are hollow as bulletime suggests.How do I know if they are hollow?
