jim1969 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I have a Whiteline 20mm adj rear swaybar. It's supposed to be 19-20-21 mm. Each end has 2 holes. How does it have 3 settings and which one would correspond to 20mm? Sorry if this is a noob question. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I think they screwed up.. The bar is naturally either a 19 or 20mm.. the hole closest to the tip of the bar is the soft setting, and the one furthest away from the tip of the bar is the stiffer setting. EDIT: Not sure what the nomenclature is for Whiteline, I guess the closest hole to the end of the bar is 19mm, the "20mm" is the actual size of the bar, and the 21mm is the remaining hole.

jim1969 Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Okay, assuming it's 19mm or 21mm for the settings, is there a disadvantage to going 21mm to match the front bar? Will the rear be all over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I run a 21mm bar that has a setting that goes to "23mm" setting... my front bar is also 23mm. My car is already driftable as it is. As for street driving, it will really put the stress on the tires.. once you overload the tires' grip capacity, the rear will be all over the place. So in all, it really depends on how you drive.. if you make a lot of driving errors, it's going to show a lot. The rear will come out and it might be hard to save the car. If you are a smooth, slower driver, then no, the rear should stay pretty predictable and pretty much stay put while give you a better feel for where the limit of the tires are.

Jaxx Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 side 1 side 2 -hole 1 being nearer the end 1-------1 = 19 1-------2 = 20 2-------1 = 20 2-------2 = 21 it preloads the bar but the total leverage is decreased if your feeling nerdy http://www.comfsm.fm/~dleeling/physics/torque.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 ah ok, un-even mounting will get the 20mm adjustment. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 will the bar line up correctly if you do that? Will it put excess pressure on the endlinks? I plan on using the stock ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxerGT2.5 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I thought the Whiteline rear was 22-24mm??? The front being 20-22mm? OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 That's what I thought too, but I guess there's always more to learn. Jaxx got any info to share with us? Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 Nope. The specs on the Rallitek site are wrong. It is considered a 20mm bar with 2 settings, hard and soft. I called Whiteline last night. They recommend only using the corresponding holes on each side, not one of each. So I guess their 20mm bar is really either 19mm or 21mm. The part # for the front is BSF30Z (21-23mm or a 22mm bar) and the part # for the rear is BSR39Z (19-21mm or a 20 mm bar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although WRX Evolution (the vendor on Nasioc) also stated the rear was adjustable up to 24mm? OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 well, their WRX rear sway is one of the "biggest" in the industry rated at 24mm. Well, as long as SOMEONE cleared this up, it's good to know.

jim1969 Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 I bought mine through the group buy with WRXEvolution last month. Go to http://www.whiteline.com.au and look up their stuff for the legacy. Steering rack bushings and adjustable endlinks are on the way soon.
