Is it heavy and how noticeable?
And where do you get it from?
I've found something about Computech but a bit exxy
Almost everyone here has got it... but not me :o
Some trader on this forum sells them from what I can remember.
i got mine from whiteline direct
I think whiteline charge 250 exc gst?
i cant remember sorry
:thumbsup:i found it a great mod... the bar is alittle bit heavier....feels alot more solid then the OEM one... from wat i remeber i got it from a member here....euro69... not sure if he can still source them...but worth a try... it was alot less then $250 also.... =P
I believe this is one of the best bang for bucks mod you can do. It really improves the steering and you definitely notice it straight away.
Thanks for the comments, I am still trying to source them though, think it should cost about $200 but not sure where in exact
i have them :D
for accord? you selling it?Quote:

I recommend the Selby sway bar range - more sway bars, and will make you a much more hardcore version than WL will.
That said, easy as pie to install
On a Euro you dont want a much more hardcore version.
Theres been reported Problems with Thicker Sway bars
Not on a Euro to my knowledge... and there's a few Euros around that needed them.
Besides the point though really - atleast the Selby range is made in Australia, unlike the most known name in sway bars... Korea FTL
I've got a Selby 18mm RSB on my Euro.:thumbsup:Quote:

^^ LOL!
BTW, those who want thick sway bars without damaging the subframe, you should stay below 22mm.
So now i could get adjustable swaybar for euro from whiteline?
Whiteline is Selby Aye - used to be, NOT ANY MORE
Want to make a big fat bet?
Whiteline S O L D the selby name, moved their productions to KOREA and Selby's operates out of 4 Lincoln St Minto. Their old location now produces Y E L L OW sway bars (and who knows what else).
Whiteline no longer uses the Selby name, they can't, they sold it when they merged with Red Ranger/Nolathane.
If someone wants to speak to someone from Selby, PM me
Yeah i think he's right.I've got a Selby RSB,it's a yellow one 18mm.got it from Greg Selby when he was at Kirrawee(he's not there now.:confused:)Quote:

And I know I am right.
I can also say that in 2 months, Whiteline will only make 80 sway bars, all made in Korea, and anything that they don't list, you can buy from Selby Sway Bars. So if you have a car that isn't in the 80 most popular, Whiteline will not sell it to you...
Well, so where could i get the adjustable swaybar for Euro? Whiteline Dealers?
how thick is the front one anyway?
Whiteline if you want a machine bent Korean one
Selby's if you want a handbent Aussie made one.
If anyone wants a Selby Bar, week turn around maximum, PM me and I will PM the phone number of the guy who I deal with there
I'd go for a Selby aussie-made one after seeing some bad inconsistencies with the Whiteline bars.Quote:

As above - you don't want to change the front sway until you change the rear sway bar - in a FWD anyway. A rear sway bar will dramatically reduce understeer, a big issue on the EurosQuote:

I used to sell WL bars, now I won't. Ever again. I'd much prefer to refer you to a better brand of bar
I've seen problems with a front sway bar. And with the rear sway bar for the Euro, some rub against the spare tyre well, while others don't. So it's the luck of the draw. If they are the same price as the Selby, I'd go for Selby if I had to make the decision again.
Its a game of inches or mm...Quote:

That said though, in November Whiteline won't even offer a swaybar for the Accord Euro - so you won't have a choice anyway!!
Get the better product now I say
So how much for the Selby bar?
The guy I speak to who works there says they are $180 for all heavy duty and adjustable bars right now. I am pretty sure both those will be over $250 when their retail counter opens.Quote:

The Whiteline rear anti-sway bar on my car is the very first one made. I sent the OE bar to them as the template for the new bar. The OE bar was destroyed in the process (I don't know why).
I've had no problems with the Whiteline bar on my Euro. It was a perfect fit according to the Honda mechanic who fitted it. I don't like fitting thicker front anti-sway bars as it increases understeer.
I had the same thing done with my previous car, a 2001 Civic 5 Door. If it's true that Whiteline is moving production to Korea, I'll have to find somewhere else to make-up new anti-sway bars.
Interestingly, as part of the process that took about three weeks, my car was without the puny rear anti-sway bar. It's absence was hardly noticeable.
I can get them no problems.. PM me if you need one.
The OE bar probably wasn't destroyed man... They likely used it as the template to make their ones... unless you saw it destroyed, I can almost guarantee it was not destroyed.Quote:

pm me the number plz...
Cheers....
How long ago did your RSB made?I got mine from Greg Selby(son)in Kirrawee late June last year.They took my OEM rear bar off one afternoon and then next afternoon installed the new one.dont know what happened with my OEM one(didnt care)Im assuming they used it as a template for the new one.anyway the Selby RSB was a perfect fit,bolted straight in.:thumbsup:Quote:

mines starting to clunk like crazy,anyone know what grease do i need to lube up the bushing?
Best I've used is Castrol LMM high temperature Lithium grease. They sell it at Supercheap/Repco/Autobarn/Bursons. Look for "LMM"Quote:
Originally Posted by Min988

sounds like mines loose
bringing back an old'ish thread...so where can i get these SELBY rear sway bars? Looking for an alternative to whiteline..for DC5R btw
+1. It's time to do some suspension mods so bring on the details!
whiteline is selby?Quote:

If you want a Selby sway bar call 9603 0100 and they are located in Minto. I believe the person who's running the show is Gary Cook.
To make things a bit more confusing, if you want a sway bar from the original owners of Selby sway bars (the people who claim to have started the brand at the beginning) then you can contact Signature sway bars who are located in Taren Point.
Cheers
I need some grease for the bushings too I think. A lot of twanging under hard cornering these days.
