Different chassis, different theory.

I'd be running a 23-24mm front and 20-22mm rear.

Check what cusco and white line sell. They've done the research so stick with those IMO (for a street car).

Did some reading, seems Craig's way is right. 24mm front, 22mm rear. Will look into it.

Tune is in the pipeline, rather get it handling like its on rails next, power after that!

I thought it may have also just had something to do with the hatch and it being balanced differently but good to know you found the same theories.

I thought about the Perrin sways as well as they look sexy in red, but couldn't go past Mao's pricing on the Whiteline gear.

Wing was raw plastic mate, we had to primer it haha.

it's made up of 6 pieces all up and a funny cable inside to hold it all together.

I took it apart so there would be no dry edges.

Wing looks really nice, just have to fit it now and the new parcerl shelf 3rd brake light etc.

Huh?

GD the usual sway bar settings are 22mm front, 24mm rear (small front, large rear bar). Mainly because this is what Whiteline sells. Cusco bars are a bit thinner, but made better (imo) so in your case you have 21mm front, 22mm rear (i.e. still a larger rear bar).

GR/GH chassis is completely different so a different approach is required for the sway bars. Factory on Kym's car is 19mm front and 16mm rear. So all the kits out there will be a larger front bar and smaller rear bar. If I was Kym, I'd slap on the rear bar only as it is a cheap install and see how the car handles with that first. Front sway bars are the bitch to install.

Sway bar sizes are not all the be all and end all to making a car have oversteer characteristics. I used to run 22mm front and 22mm rear on my old MY05 and that thing had no problems getting the ass end out.

I am running 24mm WL rear bar only on the Foz...works a treat, no understeering and cant see any point in having a bigger front sway really.

Dave have you taken the Foz to the skid pan - don't expect to get much understeer on the street - but under skid pan conditions it would be interesting to know the result.
