hey guys

took the falcon for a flex through the hills to let off some steem, and i have found that the car has got too much flex, i have king super superlows and all stiffened shokers, now i find my car has flex, how would i go about stiffining it right up. didnt make me feel too trusting in the old girl with the flex any ideas, what do people think about xr6 swaybars any other ways to stiffenher

i was thinking sway bars to start, any ideas on what they should cost me, ether xr6 swaybars or whiteline for front and rear, also have 235 tyres that stick well i have no issue with traction

yeah go bigger sway bars apparently they handle pretty good with big sway bars.
cheers josh.

xr swaybars are the same as standard falcons... 27mm front and 22mm rear.

whiteline bars start at 30mm front and 22 adjustable rear or 24mm rear.

i have 30mm and 24mm. cost around $400, but unless the rest of your suspension is up to scratch then i wouldnt bother. (ie bushes)

what size rims and tyres do you have

eb91xr6 · 28-08-2006, 11:07 PM

running 14 inch 12 sloters with 235 tyres yokahama tyres

eb91xr6 · 28-08-2006, 11:08 PM

i heard that xr6 swaybars are about 1m thicker and maid of stronger steal

A rollcage is a major structural component of any car it is fitted to (assuming a decent cage fitted properly) and will increase the tortional stiffness of the body dramatically.

im thinking a cheeper option then roll cage

get sway bars, but i think you will find that your biggest problem is the tyres rolling, as they are 14 inch rims with a big sidewall on the tyre they lean when you go round a corner. so id look at getting at the least 16's. ive got 17's and whiteline swaybars in mine 30 mm front and 24mm rear on superlow king springs and the handling is decent for a big car.

tyres are you first problem. too baggy especially as they are 14's.

i researched swaybars last year before upgrading mine, and i found out that from eb onwards xr and standard are the same.
