Default Size of the swaybar

Hi all,

I would like to get a rear swaybar for my GC8. Now, I'm faced with a couple of dilemmas.
Should I go for 22mm fixed/adjustable or 24mm fixed with camber bolts.
My front swaybar is a stock unit, and as I drive on the street 99% of the time, I was thinking that 24mm might be a bit unpredictable in the rear.
Can you please help guys. Thanks

Adi

I went for a 22mm adjustable front and rear, with the front on the softer of the two settings and the rear on the mid setting. I'll let you know whether it works next time I hit the Midvale Speed Dome.

(There's a thread I started about Whiteline swaybars on the GC8 with lots of helpful advice from others.)

Thanks for that. I think I'll go adjustable 22mm on the rear with medium setting until i can get the camber bolts as well then move it to the stiffer setting. Thanks again

*Edit* Actually, will go 24mm with camber bolts. I'll let you know how it goes

Just to add to this. I ended up getting a front 22mm fixed, rear 22mm adjustable (set currently on medium), camber bolts and alignment and I am extremely happy. I guess I'll see how it really goes at Collie, but it feels a lot better on the road.
It does have a bit more extreme camber angles as I don't particularly care about these tires. Might go to the stiffest setting depending how it feels around the track
