Hiya,
Anyone had any experience re fitting Whiteline/Selby/K-Mac etc sway bars to an MA61 ?
I may wan to change them, but seem to have a distant memory of someone having done it and problems making them fit ??
Anyone ?
Cheers

I'm pretty sure the Whiteline one's are for the RA60, I think I read of someone(on here?) installing one and it having to be modified to fit.
Don't think the addco ones from the states are available anymore, I think they are only available in sets of 10+, ie group buy only.
I have no idea about the KMac ones. Was thinking of getting a set at some point, but they could be like whitelines and be for the RA60.

just take the ones out of your car, go to lovells (or equiv) and say "id like one each of these please, but 30% thicker, thanks"
not that tricky

It seems that the ones to fit the MA61 are from something else and for whatever reason do not fit the MA61 well.
At the moment, I am leaning towards leaving as it is and installing the poly bushes and see where it goes from there. It is about $360 or so that IO can't really afford at the moment  , and I don't like the idea of more rooting around to make it fit.
Lovells aren't in Adelaide, but was thinking of looking at the whiteline ones and making sure they are the same before purchase...
Thanks for the input guys, but anyone ACTUALLY fitted some yet ?
Cheers

I was going to but my car sits damn flat.....and i like the current predictable snap oversteer  Its very controllable 
However, cars does lean alot on tyre walls (265's on stock rims will do that) on high speed cornering. But i have some 17's coming (waiting on confirmation) and with some low profiles, should eliminate that nasty body roll.

I'm thinking about doing the dual swaybar thing, since I'm a cheap and dodgy bastard. Does anyone know if an RA60 bar will work, ie is the shape similar enough to that of the MA61 bar?

I'll vouch for both of these. Oversteer is predictable and funny, and the tyres lean more than the car!
