Hey guys just spoke to a bloke who's got a line on K-Mac sway bars. Not listen on their site but is certain he can still get 180b front and rear sway bars. He said 24mm rear 18mm front from memory but I hope he's got those the wrong way round... Unless you go bigger on a datsun?

I am putting polyurethane through out. It will be running tokico green rear shocks 900 lb/s inch springs. Tokico gold fronts with 8 and 6 kilo springs to play with. Will the swaybars be necessary or should my set up be stiff enough?

Thanks Hayden.

Sway bars are independent of any suspension specs.
They only start doing anything when the body starts lifting on the inside and compressing on the outside when cornering.
When straight line driving they do zip!
I would advise using both front and rear from my experience.
The reduction in body roll when cornering is amazing :)

Thanks mate I have the same personal view, I only bought the front for time being. I haven't driven my skyline with the new sway bars I just know that when it was as stiff as this will be. (see hurts your wrist to push down on guard) It had NO body roll what so ever, I only bought a bar for it because it was new and $50 off a forum member. I've only ever used sway bars when I've run light springs like 300lbs/inch and 250lbs/inch.
