Exactly Andrew. My custom bar is the same diameter as the factory 1200 one. If it works why change it?

Hi Andrew, do you mean the standard 1200 one or 120y?

I used the standard 1200 swaybar. Im not sure on the differcence between 120Y though a little thicker and maybe different shape.
Cheers Andrew

The reason why it clears is that the front of engine sits 30mm lower (recessed crossmember) so engine can sit further back the engine /gearbox is on less of an angle so the whole setup sits around 15-20m further back.
I found the standard swaybar more than upto the task!!! with good struts and a brace they do most the susspension work. Why go bigger if not really needed??
Cheers Andrew


I must admit it does sit lower and pretty much on the firewall...Im pretty sure my coupe has got a 120Y swaybar in at the moment too...

I went bigger (to 20mm) because it's no longer a standard bar, the extra length added to clear the sump reduces the stiffness of the bar therefore you need to compensate by increasing the diameter.

But i agree if you can fit a standard bar then don't bother with increasing the size.
