Activ -body roll?

[Mitch]

Agreed with steve the holes are to adjust it for a Soft , Medium, Hard ride i am running both front and back whiteline swaybars the car feels great around corners especially in the windy mountain roads

yeah, ok, the holes are further away from the axle depending on tension but that is determined by the vehicles setup and only an example i guess.
sways are bought by thickness, if u buy a 22mm bar thats what u get, u cant change that

[sleeper]

i think u mean mm not inches, still doesnt change the diameter of the bar.

Yes obviously it doesn't change the diameter of the bar but I think adjusting it to the 23 or 25mm mounting points will give you equivalent stiffness to a 23 or 25mm bar, even though it won't exactly be the same.

Erin some that info I pulled straight from the whiteline site

And yeah I agree you can indeed have too much of a good thing lol, a lot of other sources i read said that too thick a sway bar can make the ride more dangerous etc there are a lot of pros and cons

[debonaire]

As Steve said, 24mm is the thickness of the bar. It obviously can't be adjusted.

The length of the bar is going to be the same no matter what, as it has to fit into the required space on the car.


Layman's explanation of swaybars:

A swaybar works by connecting at each side of the car and as the car tries to lean over, it causes a twist in the bar. The bar's resistance to twist depends on the diameter to the power of 4, so and upgrade of a few mm can double its torsional stiffness.

In the whiteline bars, there are three holes at each end of the bar. The ones closest to the centre allow the least amount of twisting, therefore most stiffness, and the furthest ones give the most flexibility.

thats where were getting confused , its millimetres not inches
