    Whiteline, got it from Whiteline.

    Pros: One piece design, simplicity (NO Welds).
    Cons: The whiteline one has positioning brackets that you need to fiddle with. Jbarone/Corksport bars fitment is easier and they come with better bushings.

    Soft setting is similar to stock, firm setting sharpens up cornering and makes it a lot more fun. At the track my turn in and mid corner balance has gone from understeer to near perfect balance. Corner exit is still strong understeer tho.

    HOTCHKIS from Hotchkis Sport Suspension Sport Anti-Roll Bars




    Only been in the car for a few days but the difference they make is obvious as soon as you driveaway after install, Im yet to push the car... I need badly a wheel aligment due the installing of the front swaybar as well.

    The car feels planted to the ground and around corners you feel a lot less body roll, gives you a lot more confidence going through a corner or a fast bend.

    Went with HOTCHKIS over Whiteline because it was 5mm bigger (32mm over 27mm) and its looks and bushings look a lot nicer.

    On the softer setting 95% stiffer than stock, on stiffest setting 140% stiffer than stock

    Did you install this yourself or get someone to do it..and if you don't mind me asking how much did the installation cost ?

    The rear swaybar is a VERY easy install, it took me about 20 minutes to do. It's about as easy as a ream engine mount install job.

    I haven't looked into what the front one involves but it is a lot more complicated than the rear.

    No cheap($250+), installation was done by http://www.fulcrumsuspensions.com.au/, mostly because of the front swaybar and your car will likely need a wheel aligment also.

    There was no options to add adjustable endlinks, I wasnt looking for some either. Most likely you will need to buy them apart.

    Pity it doesn't look like Hotchkis make them for the Gen II. That's a really good looking swaybar
