Edit:
Thanks everyone. I've found GPX swaybars and no longer require these.


Hi everyone,

I am looking for GPX front and rear swaybars in Melbourne.

If you have them let me know.
I have near new Whiteline front and rear swaybars and would consider a swap + cash adjustment if anyone is interested

I already have a rear, but I may be interested in the front if we can work out shipping, or possibly I can drop thru Melbourne around bonfire time if I make it.

I'll likely have stock front and rear GPX swaybars too

What size rear do you have?

The front swaybar at 16/18mm adjustable is fairly stiff from what I've found. Really gets rid of roll however you need a stiff rear swaybar to compensate.
With the 22mm the car was very stable but had a tendency to understeer, from my opinion this was due to the brackets flexing and the swaybar losing its effectiveness.

I've bought GPX swaybars now so longer require them but the whiteline swaybars will likely go up for sale shortly.
Let me know if you're interested.

I have the same 3-point 22mm Whiteline one. I've got a 18mm Whiteline one on the front now too, but it's had the ends chopped down to fit a GPX when prev owner had been sent wrong one, and when Vectose was around doing the 6A13 swap he noticed that it looks to be rubbing on the subframe too.

So yeah, pending price I am probably quite interested in that to rectify the issue when I can lol

Does your car understeer with the current swaybar?
And do you notice a handling difference when adjusting the rear swaybar stiffness?

Make me an offer on the swaybar. I am not sure how much shipping would be though

It probably does a little at the limit, but that could just be my shoddy driving also lol, I'm likely not the best person to ask about quantifying the difference in suspension setups. However I don't seem to recall an incredible amount of difference between the softest setting in the rear, and the middle one which it is on now, so perhaps I'm suffering the same symptoms you think you're experiencing with flex in the mounts? I haven't tracked the car before either (though I'd like do when I get everything organised)

I've never had mine on the softest setting. Just the middle and hardest and though there were weeks apart between driving the car I didn't notice much if any difference.

Track driving is great fun, I highly recommend it. Come to Winton one day
