Hi all, again!

I have been speaking with Tony at http://www.mako.com.au

I am going to order a sway bar. The standard one is 19mm, the listing they have is for a 22mm as an upgrade, but I was thinking of maybe going to a 24mm. Tony has said this will be no problem, but does anyone have any recommendations for ke30 sway bar size? experience? I can't see a problem with the 24mm over the 22mm, It will be a lot stiffer but will that cause any problems?

I run a custom 24mm front bar on my car, my car does see a lot of track time and hardly any road use.

If your set on a 24mm bar I suggest you run a rear sway bar to help balance out the handling of the car, with out it you may experience understeer.

If your just after a firmer ride, just go for some uprated coils and shocks on the front and add another leaf and better shocks on the back.

If you want a more aggressive/race set up, do the above and then do the sway bars, in my experience they are usually the last thing to sort out once you decide on the handling characteristics you would like to achieve.

 

any suggestions of a supplier for a rear sway bar guys

They were fitted to KE55 coupes I believe. You'd want the diff too - for the brackets - and the two chassis brackets.

All 55's not just coupes. You could probably sort something out for the diff mounts pretty easily with a u bolt flat plate and d plate. Just make sure you get the dropper bars on the chassis end of the bar too.

I use these.

I got mine through my local Peders.

I used a whiteline sway bar for a bit - but also with the stiffer suspension, could feel the 'heavier' steering because of it...

Another option is to run twin bars on the front. Was given a kit (supposed to fit a Mazda) that mounted another bar under the original. Worked well, and was semi adjustable depending on where the brackets mounted.

What do you want for your 19mm sway bar??

Ended up ordering a 24mm from Mako.com.au, $295 delivered, now just waiting for it to show up, 3 weeks and waiting.
