G'Day,
As stated in another thread I have gotten ahold of a Whiteline swaybar for cheap (30mm adjustable). I can also he the rear (non-irs for cheap too). I have also come accross the ability to get some Nolethane bushes for cheap. I would be getting the full git (RRP: 1200, I can get for $720 delivered). I am wondering, if I was to install the swaybar, and bushes, what realistic gains would I feel. How much better would the car handle, and would this be a worthwhile exercise? Just not sure if its worth soending that much on something thats not going to make much difference? Cheers, Matt

Going full Nolethane would make you car ride alot harsher.

There was a thread a month or so ago regarding the virtues of Nolathane. Apparently Nolathane is good in some bushes but not others. Anyway, when I was looking I found them on ebay and a quick look there shows shows Ford "EVOFORD4" for $640 + $14 delivery to Wagga Wagga. Have a search for that thread though, it might persuade you in a slightly different direction. |

from what I've read in other threads (do a search for yourself and have a look-see), the general consensus on the swaybars seems to be a lot less body-roll, and much more precise steering feel......
A lot of people said it was the best bang-for-your-buck mod they have done.....

Do you know what bushes are good and what ones are bad Peuty? It rides pretty hard sometimes, and other times its good. Weird at the moment.
