WHITELINE SWAY BAR 26mm ...... ??

Whiteline 26mm Sway Bar

Anyone used this sway bar from Whiteline? I know I've seen 20, 22 and very rarely 24. But 26mm???

I don't know why I was thinking it was the rear bar. Doesn't even look like the rear bar. That's the front bar........ you are right.

I know in talking to someone that Whiteline "apparently has an adjustable 20mm rear bar. The adjustable being blades...... Never seen it.

We don't use the Whiteline bars as we didn't like the quality of the bushings or that they didn't hold the grease well so it's only a matter of time before you get noises.
Plus 20mm is not stiff enough and why we normally use our 25mm bar which is the same stiffness as a 22mm bar.

That's pretty cool, I just don't know why a stiffer front would be useful, unless it's a serious track car.

This front sway bar would dramatically increase understeer.

Unless it was paired with a super stiff rear bar, it seems like overkill.

If you’re in LA, stop by and take a ride with me.
27mm solid front
25mm solid rear.
NO understeer.

That would make sense, with the 25mm rear bar. Is that the hollow M7 RSB?

Do you have coilovers?
