I just did the swap from the 1200 front sway bar (17mm) to the 120Y (20mm) one, and what a difference it makes I can't believe the difference I can finally go around corners at a decent speed.
For anyone who's looking for a quick and cheap handling improvement this is the way to go ,it cost me $10 and about an hour mucking around at the wreckers and swapping them when I got home ,and I found out my front end has nolathane bushes everywhere.
Now if I can only get it to stop I'll be sitting pretty.

YEah, premo man.
I just sold my 120y one to a14 force. He was puttn it on his car.
Mint as!
Yeah, breaks are a problem i admit. Mabe a parashute!

Hey Autokat where did you pick it up for $10. Last time I went to the wreckers they wanted $50 and I haven't much luck finding someone who is actually selling.

I really want to do this conversion to stiffen the front up a bit.

I got it from Bega rd wreckers ,I went in there the other day for a visit ( I sorta know the guy who owns it )and I spotted the 120Y down the back , rang him a couple of days later and he said $30 went and saw him and he said $20 I said I'll take it off $10 he said ok .I love knowing people at wreckers.

Freak,

The wreckers at Beams Rd, Carseldine had a heap of 120Y there when I was last there. Might pay to give them a call and see what they want for one.

How did you go with the lowering blocks? I got a set from Sydney (e-bay) for $40 cheaper than anything I could find around Bris. They are in and work a treat.

I tried to fit one to my ute, and the bastard hit the sump?????? whats the deal????

Did the same on my sedan so I loosened them and pulled the sway bar forward and retightened them now it has a 7-8mm gap .

Try that.

must be upside down? The 'dip' in the middle of the sway bar goes downwards - umm, otherwise it's not a 'dip'

Havent done the lowering blocks yet and yeah i went to the wreckers at beams rd and he let me check it all out. I'll probably try and do the lowering blocks and sway bar over the next week while the dattos off the road awaiting a new engine.

What were some of the places around Brisbane that were selling the lowering blocks. I need to know some names so i can start looking.

thanks

tHE "DIP" was down. It made a fantastic difference, but the vibration transfer made my fillings fall out.
The bar was out of a car that had enjoyed a smack in the kisser.
I layed the other 120Y bar I have over the top of the ute bar while it was out, and they seemed to me to be quite different. I would really like to use them, but I can't see how to make it work.
When the car travels down on the suspention it presses on the front of the sump. It wouldn't go on the other way up.
