RA65 Celica - Custom sway bars / struts etc
|

Can someone tell me where is a good place to get strut/swaybars for my Six - Five ? (apart from whiteline)
Any help would be appreciated.
Note that my front sway bar has been removed because the X member of the 1G sits too low. I would actually prefer to take my car somewhere where they would custom make/fit for me.
Thanks

K-Mac custom made mine. Just leave your original one with them and let them measure how much further forward it has to sit.
Word of warning though, it's very thick.

Why not Whiteline? I've heard good things about their MA61 upgrade kit, and I expect they have one for the RA65 as well.

max... kmac ok... but i have lost the original front sway bar... will just give to them to take a look 
norbie...because of the xmember sitting so low, i think any REPLACEMENT sway bar / kits whiteline have to offer may not sit properly, or even fit !!! hence i want a custom joint... HOWEVER i may just get the rear sway and front strut from whiteline

I'm pretty sure Whiteline will do custom stuff, as long as you're prepared to pay for it...

Sounds about right. I think I paid about $230 fitted. Can't remember, it's been years.

I'll talk to a friend who might be doing a 1G conversion into an RA65 soon.
See if he's interested in pulling the swaybar off for you since he has to do it anyway. Might get a discount if you buy two...

Shouldn't be too hard. I reckon 8 bolts at most. The bushings might be a bit of a PITA (I think K-Mac gave me nolothane bushings with the swaybar).
