Rezlo as for the sway bar situation. I would say give Owen Ashley a call dont know you should know him he is the master mind behind the supercars and the gt500 series. He built the sway bars on a cobra me and my dad built and a set of coil over and that guy realy! Knows his sh1t. He is based at killarney.

Yeah, ive made lowering blocks before, datto is a small side project, rather buy cheaper stuff than DIY, found a set this morn for less than just buying material.

Easy swaybar upgrade for B110 is to fit B210/120Y swaybar. Same "shape" but thicker diametre (20mm vs 18mm).

I already have a 20mm swaybar in, still to soft for my preference, 22mm front /18mm rear combo sounds like it would work well

Rezlo, sorry for the late reply but I was out of town.
The 7/8ths front and 5/8th rear bars in the Nissan Motorsports Catalog were manufactured by Addco (even said so in the catalog), I'm using them on my car and they work very well. Now if we were running our cars on 240 compound 20x8 Goodyear slicks or similar tires they would be to soft but for classes of cars on treaded tires (even if Kumho/ Yokohama et al are nothing more than grooved slicks) they are just perfect. Anyone who has ever driven my coupe as well as folks who are on track with me remark on how well it handles..................the set up is straight out of the C-Sedan manual on this site.

great to know! I hope they arrive near the end of this month!
Sounds like it will be the perfect mod for my class I run, should also help stop the back wheel loosing traction in corners little bit as im still saving for an LSD.

Hi Rezlo. This is a good idea in your situation. I saw on the nice pics you send me last time that the car seems to have a little bit too much body roll in some of the corner shots for a race prep car. I think these swaybars, especially the back one, will make a nice improvement in the handling department. Please keep us updated, especially with the pics with the car going through a corner on the track. That will give us an idea how it compares.

Yeah it used to be terrible, I am running this Saturday with the new much stiffer front springs to see what sort of difference that makes, at least the new 225lbs springs feel similar in body jounce to the rears now, still perfectly comphy for street use but should help a lot, I think with the sway bars and the lengthend lower control arms and adjustable tension/castor rods she should handle just fine.

Had a damm good day racing, the new front springs made a night and day difference, chopped 2 seconds of my lap time on a 2.4km track. It now lifts the inside front clear off the ground by about 20-25cm
Cant wait for the swaybars!
