Whiteline front sway bar....

Whiteline front sway bar....

Postby SleeperSolara » Sat Sep 23, 2006 1:49 pm

What should i get??
A 20mm or 24mm front sway bar.
I know and read about anthoer member breakin' his front sway bar bracket.
So i'm kind-of iffy on these.
But i do know the 24mm is better, but i want to know if that's over kill for daily drivin'.
I have the TRD rear sway bar on the track settin'.
What you guys think??

I dont think you'd want to go too big for the front as the car will want to understeer more, thus eliminating the benefits provided by the rear bar you installed. I'd go with a 20 mm. I could see it worthwhile to replace the front if it it lighter than stock, as more unsprung weight you're removing.

I like my 24mm whiteline front sway bar. I've never run into any understeer issues. It may be a problem if you were running on tires like something S or T rated. Who even makes a 20mm front? I only know of 22.2mm from Addco and Intrax. I'd recommend go with 24mm. Some details: Gen 4 V6 with Whiteline Sways front and rear(20mm), KYB struts, stock springs and 15" alloys with Falken Ziex ze-512 V.

What's the part # on that 20mm?
Here is the current whiteline catalogue for Gen 4 Camry / Gen 1 Solara:

As far as breaking the swaybar brackets... that could be attributed to uneven torquing, or over torquing more than the swaybar itself. The bracket itself may have already had a weak point. I've had the 24mm front on 3 cars now for 2 years and never had a problem.

Yeah you got it right now :D
In your previous post, you had said the 20mm was avail for the front... unless I am not getting what you mean. If you already have the TRD rear, it didn't make sense to me that you would mention the 20mm whiteline rear.

I say, go with the 24mm, it seems to even out the handling and give a balanced feel, especially through the middle of the corner...

Whiteline front bar

Postby 1kdude » Wed Sep 27, 2006 5:49 pm

I have the 24mm Whiteline front bar and the TRD rear, the front was a real improvement, I recommend it. There is some understeer if I really push it, but its not bad at all.

BTW the 20 mm whiteline bar is a rear bar as stated above.

Also thanks for clearin' up the 20mm for the RSB from Whiteline.
