    Experiment around with it, The soft setting on the whiteline swaybar is pointless on the MPS imo, in a regular Mazda3 it would probably make a big difference but on the soft setting its barely any different to stock. Ideally i'd like mine to be slightly firmer.

    It only takes 5 minutes to adjust, try all 3 settings.

    Ok so i ordered my JBR RSB on Friday 6th & received it on 17th. Pretty prompt service. Excellent product, well made & a great price of $245 delivered. Only had it on for about 30km , but can feel the difference immediately. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it (or any of his stuff) to anyone here.

    And a big thanks to my exhaust guy for for fitting it free of charge. I asked him, "how much??" He said "you know where i live"........gotta love the beer economy.

    $245 delivered is hard to pass!

    What setting are you using atm AD07?

    Middle setting at the moment (probably the best for a daily driver).....all seems good. Will probably give the stiffest setting a go as well just to see how it feels.

    You can also try incremental settings (ie one side on the middle, the other on stiffest etc). Doesn't matter if the sides are uneven from each other as it's the torsion on the bar itself that's important

    Has this been updated yet? I don't see it when I put the 2010 model into the website product finder. It only lists a couple of strut bar items.

    Web site isn't up to date but here's the one you want.

    Whiteline BMR88Z Rear Sway bar - 27mm heavy duty blade adjustable

    I have it fitted to my Gen II in case there's any lingering doubt about compatibility.

    The website is now up to date sorry for the delay we thought it had been updated a while ago but was missed some where along the lines.

    Thanks, its working well, just ordering one now.

    For everyone's information: I emailed whiteline a few days ago with a few questions about the rsb including staggered settings. Part of the response I got today was:

    "The bar can never be set to different holes either side or it will make the car dangerous and handling will be different for turning right hand corners to left hand corners and is never been done." -Wayne Bolton;
    Technical / Customer Service-

    Just thought I would mention this. If people do consider staggered settings, it's probably worth investigating further before taking the leap.

    That totally goes against what Brett Middleton at MRT says. It also doesn't make any sense as it's the torsion (twisting force) on the bar itself that's affected. It has nothing to do with left/right side balance



    4:40 onwards. He makes specific mention of the ability to have the sides uneven/staggered


    To highlight:

    Here's a representation of a torsion bar with no force applied:




    Now here's the same bar with torsional force applied (note the twist in the bar itself)




    The overall torsion rate is affected by shortening or lengthening the bar itself (the equivalent of changing the hole position on the sway bar). This affects the overall torsion across the bar, not specifically one side or the other


    Hope this helps

    Yeah, I figured you were getting your info from somewhere like that. It's a bitch having conflicting info from different sources!

    Thanks for posting that up, the immages help
    I hope some more people with mechanical knowledge chime in.

    Cheers

    Yeah man, it's straight physics. If you had separate swaybars for left and right and they were at different settings, different story.

    With one bar, that's joined to each side, it's going to work on the whole length of the bar, not independent of either side. With all due respect to Mr Bolton @ Whiteline, he's wrong

    EDIT: Sorry, it should be "Brett" Middleton. Not sure why I called him Brad in my original post, but I've fixed it

    You can set the bars to different holes on either side if you want, but to be honest there's no point (With the Gen1 anyway)....... Stick it on the hardest setting and you won't look back. I've been running my XHD on the hard setting for 2 weeks now and the difference in handling is absolutely fantastic. This is how the stock RSB should have been.
