Whiteline sway bars - Review
 

Installed my Whiteline sway bars yesterday, car feels great, on uneven surfaces and while turning.

One thing, when installing, the Allen (hexagonal screw) wrench provided, is a POS, had to use my friends metric set (made in USA so it did the job) to get the same size. I wish Whiteline would provide better quality tools... or leave it to the individual and not provide a POS one.

I've put my setting on hard rear, medium front.

The soft front (when compared to the stock sway bars) is the same as the the stock, so no point in using that.

The rear end feels much better and you can predict when you're gonna break loose a lot better. Also the front feels great with much less roll.

All in all, the rigidity is very much improved and I recommend this product for others to try out on their car.

The install was not hard, but, the usual working underneath the car. To install the rear sway bar, had to drop the exhaust. I should have replaced the gaskets since Nissan doesn't use stainless steel, but the car only has 3.5K miles on it and my Fast Intentions exhaust is on order, should be ready by end of September in case I get a leak, I've checked so far and no leak.

Also when dropping the exhaust to swap the sway bars out, I've noticed no loctite on the studded screws... pretty strange in my opinion, considering that the shifter had a butt-load of loctite on it.

Anyway, all I have left to do is to check the bolts one more time, and see that everything is holding up.

Next mod besides the FI CBE is the Koni Yellow's

Cheers :)

I'm hoping to pick some of these up one day. House shopping and wedding plans have put a pause on car mods for a couple of years though.

:tup:

loving mine as well...
i have them set of stiffest - makes a big difference over stock.

i have a slight squeak now when i bounce the front drivers side shocks - 9k miles after install... i need to check the tightness of the mount.

Did you grease em up well? I've made sure to be generous in greasing all of the contact points.

Thank you for the review binary0x01.
I've heard nothing but good things about these sway bars.
These are on my mod list.

Getting the Whiteline rear end links tomorrow and Megan Racing sub-frame brace.

I'll report back after the install. :tup:

Any pics?

:iagree:

Coming soon dudes, had a busy week. Lotta stuff happened, packages held at ups and fedex locations so as soon as I pick em up, I'll post the pics :)

Megan Racing SubFrame Brace NISSAN 370Z 2009 - 2012 MR-SB-NZ34RL

That's the subframe brace.

Seb @ specialty Z installed it and the whiteline rear end swaybar links.

The car feel really solid.

:)

Car feels really awesome... solid :)

If you are getting some squeaking from the bars, try cleaning the grease off and use a couple (2-3) wraps of white Teflon tape around the bar where the bushings contact it.
This totally eliminated the squeaking that I was getting with my rear sway bar.

Cool. I got the same bars that will be installed in my car. Im going to be DD 99% of the case

You think that mid front and hard rear is the best setup?? BP guys will do mid setup for both. Dunno if it is going to be the best tho...

I went hard/hard from the get go and I don't wanna change it to anything else. I'd try it out. Remember the whitelines are not as stiff as other sways.

Love my Whiteline too. Night and day compared to stock set up. Well worth the money.. :iagree:

Quick question for anyone that installed themselves. For the rears, about how much space do you have between the end of the bar and the lower camber arm? Not sure if I should shorten my endlinks to create more space.

After centering the Sway I had about 1.5 inch clearance with stock end links :tiphat: after re-attaching the frame supports.

Ah ok, I think I have about an inch of clearance right now, thanks :tiphat:

Get the whiteline rear end links.

My stock front was rubbing on the lower a-arm but not enough to be an issue, the WhiteLines Cleat it with no problem. 1 inch.

:iagree:, that will be my next upgrade.. Those adjustable links are solid and can dial in the sways even more if you know what your doing. Which I don't know yet!! Good thread brother, Rep.

Just ordered these:

Whiteline KLL124 Sway bar - alloy lateral lock 24mm ID kit

They are for the 24mm rear sway bar, the front 27mm comes with these but not the rear.

Thought I'd let you guys know :)

Also, don't know if anyone's checked this out, but is pretty useful info/review of the products.

Project Nissan 370Z- Suspension Basics

Hey binary,
I have seen lots of ppl go the hotchkis sway bars. Can you tell me 2 reasons why u chose whiteline. Lolmim still debatingn:d between these two. Hotchkis is thicker and stiffer. But somehow whiteline is better for daily driving.

Guys just so u know SPL has released both front n rear endlinks.. tts if your interested.. =)

Put this together before purchasing my sways.

Nice spreadsheet. Is the I moment of inertia out of curiosity? Curious on what that percentage vs stock would represent. Sorry i'm not a mech engineer
