Sway bar upgrade ?!

[Jeremyxe 4]

Hey guys just wondering if upgrading my sway bars to some whiteline heavy duty sway bars will increase the handing/ ride of my xe ?? Or money not worth spending ?

Thanks

im running a 25 or 28? the biggest one the make for xe and huge difference, combind with lowering = no more boat

[Jeremyxe 4]

Would you recommend the 24mm or 27mm fronts?

[Jeremyxe 4]

Bigger the better by the sounds of it haha , yeah really want to get rid of that 'boat' feel as mine it's fairly lowered aswell .

 

Thanks guys muchly appreciated

Yes I would suggest 27mm on the front no bigger or you can suffer under steer and 24mm on the rear a really well worth it very noticeable when fitted

To easy 27mm front and 24mm back it is , thanks again for the help.

I recommend you change the cars springs to suit the height/center of gravity (CofG) you want. Then your shocks to suit that. THEN go out and test the car and see if it's under steering or over steering. From here you select sway bars to give the car more or less under/over steer. Springs, shocks and CofG will change your "boatyness" the best.

 

Worth looking into anyway.

And make sure you replace worn bushes or put the bushes you intend to run with on first. They can make a huge difference to how the car handles

Nah just go the man bar on the back.  Did that on my eb and had the adjustable set on the full on man setting.

 

Was fucking excellent on dirt.

I run the discontinued whiteline flatout springs, 24mm sway bar front and rear, and koni shocks, ride is very flat mid corner. my cheap tyres are the weakest link.

Run the large one on the front and leave the rear alone, it will help power delivery to the road.  Springs and shockers will help handling heaps.  Also get as much castor on the front as possible, will give you neg camber on turn in but won't alter straight driving.
