s14 rear sway bar question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guy's I rarely ask for help on here but could really use some input on rear sway bars. First off this car is built for grip and secondly I run a 4" exhaust so fitment is of concern.

Hope some of you guys can let me know what has the tallest arch so I wont have issues with the clearance.

Thanks ahead of time!

A four inch exhaust? What engine is in the car?

I am guessing you need to swap the sway bar because of the exhaust. Find a competent machinist that will custom mandrel bend a sway bar that will meet your needs.

I'm pretty sure they are all pretty standard as far as the "notch" for the exhaust. I'll measure my Whiteline this evening for you and report back the depth or height of the notch.

It's a built 2jz and thanks for the help JR!

My Whiteline notch measures 3" deep. I have a 3" exhaust and have roughly 1-1.25" of clearance. I think you'd be fine with this and a 4" exhaust, but I'm sure you're open to other options.

I ran whiteline on my z33 and loved them. Will attempt to come across something used, thanks so much for the help JR!
