Default Front Sway Bar Options

Looking at sorting out my stock front sway bar, as I have some body roll in the front i'd like to sort out. Looking to raise a front a few about 5mm to stop the rubbing on the front right on hard cornering.

I have a 25mm Perrin in the back with end-links and stout mounts.

Was looking to put as 22mm in the front, with end links as per below, these components should take care of business?

I am running 22mm front and 22mm rear was previously running a 24mm rear, I found the backend of car rather twitchy under heavy braking. Oh and mine are Whiteline not sure if sizes are the same with the ones you have

Yeah right, not noticed anything like that tbh with mine on the current setup. Just wanted to get a few things sorted before the tuning session, as last one I was being a bit careful into corners cause of the rubbing up front.

Going to do the front wheel bearings too as i'm getting some mean pad knock-off still and will be really unpleasant, especially after the last pads I had in were shit last time. Could only get two laps in before they were butter.

Best advice I can give is stick with the same brand front and rear and with adjustability you be able to dial in the feel that you want.

If i was you i would put a 25mm in the front to match the rear. Even though i think 25mm is over kill on the GD chassis it will be better to have the same size bars front and rear.

Like Mark, im also running 22mm front and rear bars, however mine are perrin.

That would be epic understeer Tony!

Mine with 24 rear and 22 front was good.

22f and 24r (white line middle settings) felt good on my old bugeye.
tyres and suspension setup will also affect ur handling.

Whiteline 24 Rear & 22 Front.. With Middle Settings also.. It's the One combo that's mostly used I've been told.. Goes well & made a noticeable difference

Good feedback guys. Makes sense to do the endlinks one would assume. No point of doing stiff bar if you have shit links.

Apparently that is the case, can't say I'm an expert on it but seems to be the done thing when upgrading sway bars.
