Default 2008 sway bars

I'm looking for some sway bars for betty to get rid of some of the body roll. The only kit I can find online is the rallitek kit. They look ok but the only type of shipping they seem to do costs US$385 which is more expensive than the kit itself.

http://www.rallitek.com/rafrreswbars.html

Anyone done there sway bars locally? Who/Cost?

yep as Nauli said. John is doing my whiteline sway bars install right now plus wheel alignment. From memory he charged me $490 for front and rear heavy duty adjustable ones. He did an 08 betty the other day while I was there so he should be able to sort you out easily.

Waiting is the worst part - once the decision is made you want it now!

Congrats

Betty needs help in the handing department and John certainly sorted that out on mine!

Just picked the Lib up from John @ Wheels World. Talk about some noticable difference in handling and cornering, damn! Stock sways are like light weight tooth picks compared to the WL. Little bit of neg camber in the wheel alignment as well. Big thumbs up to John and his team there. Highly recommend. No understeer issues now.
