I was wondering if anyone has the Suspension Technique sway bars. If so, what are your thoughts on it. My friend suggested that I should get the Whiteline sway bars, but I just don't know.

I have the ST kit and it had some fitment issues. I had to grind some washers and get different bolts at ACE to make it work, which is just stupid. If that kind of thing bothers you, don't get them.

Now that they're in they really help rotate the car and cut down on roll. The downside is that on bumpy roads the car is way less predictable. And I can now lift a rear wheel on trail braking, which is not ideal. And they're not adjustable. I'm thinking about switching back to stock bars with poly bushings.

I've heard the Whitelines have problems with the end links. I've heard of people fabricating new end links for them, which I really don't feel like messing with, which is why I didn't get them.

If you're cheap like me just get bushings.
If you can afford them, get some mad tyte JDM sways.

whiteline sway endlink probs been solved. do a search here and on FA. I think it had something to do with the enlink on the front bar being bolted to the wrong hole on the front lower arm which caused it to bind. Bolt to correct hole and no more bind. Seek and yee shall find.

Interesting. I just have one other question to ask to "i'm driftaholic" and "orange-grey" and that is what kind of 240 do you guys have? I mean are your cars S13 or S14?

S13 also. Maybe ST fixed the kit. I still think the Whiteline end links are janky.

I have a S14. The rear bar barly rubs my Apex dual exhaust. The front brackets I had modified to make them fit better. Other option was to use a stack of washers.

hey i have the ST for my s13. the fronts fit like crap. there were 2 bolts that hold a bracket that holds the bushings in were totally not lined up. did anyone else have that issue with the fronts? like the bushing is possably too big.

The ST bars work well ONCE installed.

Unfortunately, the installation is not perfect.. the FACKING bolts they give you for the end links are a bit too short and really make installation a pain in the ***. Its not a big deal, there is a technique that makes installation easier.. but fack, how much work is it for them to hand over some longer end-link bolts? Damn bastards.

I've got ST anti-roll bars on my S13, fitment was easy and install went well, I've had them for over a year.

You need to install the endlinks with the car on the ground, that makes things much easier.

Okay, GREAT. I'll just shrink myself to about 2" tall so I can fit underneath my car while it is not on jackstands! hehe

I have them on my s14 and they had not fitment issues over my N1 single. Installation was easy, I dont remember any probs. They reduce body roll drastically. I got mine for about $220 from Stillen if I remember correctly.

i put my car on ramps to install the front. ramps is like having the car on the ground and jacked up at the same time
