hey guys im currently doing all the bushes/suspension in my vl and ive got a few questions what brand and size swaybars are you guys running? adjustable? etc the car will be a street driven car and have slicks on from time to time ive already got new springs and shocks, adjustable panhard rod, upper and lower control arms so im just after a few peoples opinions on swaybars cheers Morgan.

I have a Pedders Racing 30mm solid sway at the front, and I'll be switching between a stock and Pedders Racing 22mm solid rear sway. Both PR are non-adjustable. Haven't driven on them yet, but they're about 245% stiffer than stock items. Running these in conjunction with Nolathane bushes, K-Mac adjustable strut tops, Whiteline VL V8 strut brace, and ETM/duz360 reinforced lower trailing arms. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Keep the rear sway bar standard or similar, front you can go a fair bit thicker than standard.

I ran a Signature 30mm front adjustable bar and a stock rear bar with SuperPro 90 urathane bushes throughout. IMO this is the perfect setup

so u guys reckon 30mm front bar and standard back?

NZ EVLHSV will always tell you that the rear bar should be left standard, otherwise it ruins your handling. I don't disagree with him, but I'm reserving my opinion until I've tried both (standard and 22mm). Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I never tried a big bar at the rear, but my suspension was built and setup by these guys who are fairly clued up http://www.georgestock.co.nz/div_koni_workshop.html

I have .30 Whiteline front and rear. Pic of rear bar

Do you mean 30mm f/r Oliver? As .30" is 7.5mm. How do you find the big bar on the rear? That's seriously thick man, like 14mm up on factory! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

How does that handle? I put my rear shocks on full stiffness for about 2-3 weeks and it was so nasty to control. I actually lost it on one corner doing around 70km/hr and it went round so fast that full lock the other way didn't stop it from spinning 180. Luck it was on a big wide open road with no one around. I put it back to half after that and the difference in grip was amazing

Yeah it handles great, I had the whole suspension replaced though springs, bushes, shocks everything. Was like driving a different car afterwards.

what did hsv / hdt fit on vls? i kno it was bilstien shocks but as for swaybars ??

22 on the rear is nice. the 28 i've got on the front is with pedders sports struts. i didn't want to go too thick on the front as i hate understeer. i figured hd shocks would help. a little camber with kmacs and a bit of positive camber and mine handles just right. my bars are whiteline non adjustable.

Positive camber???

. . .

it's a typo, he means caster

^^ thank you, i did mean caster.

i ended up gonig 30mm front and 20mm rear with new adjustable upper arms, braced lowers and new sway bar link kit.
