I'm running Perrin Sway bars on the front and rear
25mm to be exact
I've ditched all the whiteline stuff, including the links
And replaced them with Poltec adjustable links instead
They are much thicker than the Whiteline units
Also running the Perrin ALK with the front alloy Sti arms

With the US$ doing well, Perrin gear worth a look

Get it direct from Perrin.

Whiteline are fine, they are bang for buck.
Cusco and perrin products are my preference though, more solid and joints are better
Poltec are worth a look for links and lateral / trailing arms

Perrin are good on the pig but I did put the endlinks and stout mounts on at the same time and alk very shortly after. Can't imagine why other endlinks would eat away. The bars just have a flat blade on the end. Nothing trick.

Reckon the price would be starting to get pretty good with the AUD where it is and they will likely have them delivered as quick as most Aussie vendors.

As opposed to the Whiteline ones which do the same??

The boys at ASG picked this up when I took the car in with a suspension clunk.. the clunk was the Whiteline end link hitting the Whiteline swaybar.

They had to fit a couple of washers to stop this from occurring.

Now the bush is f*cked on that side, which I think is due to the washers pushing the swaybar end slightly.

I have read that the cusco 24mm was more like the whiteline 20-22mm. Meh?

Ive had no problems with whiteline. Cheaper and does the job.

Thanks for the reply everyone.

Reason why I asked is because import image racing had Perrin front and rear swaybars with end links and all the mounts for bout $550us. That the best I have personally seen.

In other news, have fitted a whiteline 22mm swaybar to my car this week and the bushes were too big. Had to apply some serious clamping force to get them to fit
