thicker sways noticable handling difference?

[chilli]

i got whiteline front and rear sway bar (on ek1) with the rear on the harder setting.

I havent had any problem yet with the subframe tearing (been on car about 40,000km). And the handling greatly improved from standard, although my aim was mainly to just reduce bodyroll (which i was happy with). I did notice more overstear and snap oversteer on harder breaking (more so in wet), although i think my shocks are gone so it may be because of that also.

gone shocks would put more stress onto the sway bar and worsen the problem

doesn't happen to everyone, but the ones it does are usually the 22-24mm ones

Not long ago i put dc2r sway bars on my dc4 with asr brace, The car corners so much better and a lot of the body roll was gone even with stock spring rates. The thicker rear sway bar keeps the car more even on the road allowing the car to rotate easier through corners. Straight line comfort is not effected at all.

you cannot fit a standard 13mm swaybar to the ASR kit. It is made to be used with a 22/23mm rear swaybar

hmm it could fit on my friends 24mm also =] just had to find matching D brackets +bushings for 24mm to fit the asr.

[bennjamin]

i suppose you could fit a 13mm swaybar too , with the large enough bush to sit in place with the same external dimensions of say a 22mm one

[na-118]

soin order to fit the 13m one you will need to find the d brackets and bushings to suit the thickness right ben?

y wuld you be rockin an asr with a 13mm bar anyways? its oem and im pretty sure your subframe will support it.
mine hasnt had anything wrong for the past year ive had it on...
the problem arises with thicker bars causing some subframe tearing thus the need for extra support like an asr brace...
