hey im getting a swaybar made up but i dont know what size to get?
me mate has a 24mm bar but the rear wheel is coming of the ground, just wondering what sizes people have got for the 1200 sedan and are they good?
if ne1 could comment that would be great.

Is this for front or rear.

24mm that's huge.

The 120Y one is probably more appropriate for you. And at about $50 from the wreckers..probably it's a better option.

I too am interested in others opinions on this.

certainly hope we're not talking about rear bars! I guess we must be, because there's no way in god's green earth that a 1200 with a 24mm front bar would lift a rear wheel! 24mm is outrageous for the rear, and a massive overkill on the front of a 1200. Especially if it still has an A series engine and street tyres - you'd never get it to 'turn in' ever again!

I have a 17mm Whiteline rear bar on my race coupe, and have ground its arms down because its too stiff. I also mounted the diff brackets for the sway bar as far inboard as possible to soften its effect, and run the link pins a little loose to further soften the rear bar's effect on handling.

Swaybars should really be used for fine tuning after springs and shocks have been sorted out. Spend your money in those areas first, and then look at some more agressive front end geometry before considering having massive swaybars made. Adjustable castor rods to crank on a couple more degrees, and redrilled x-member to get a couple of degrees camber will make noticeable differences even on road cars.

I agree the 20mm 120Y bar is a much more sensible option for the front. I use one on my L series racecar, so if its not big enough for an A series 1200 on street tyres, something else is lacking...
And if you are looking for a rear bar, have a look at the wreckers under the back of KE55 corollas - some of these have rear swaybars that should be able to be fitted to a 1200, and are a much more sensible size.

remember that very small changes can have big effects on handling! Eg, loosening the rear bar's link pins less than 3 turns has changed the balance of my car from oversteering to neutral. A 5mm front ride height change also made a significant difference to the car's balance. So imagine what effect a 300% increase in roll bar stiffness will have!

i got some sports swaybar for the rear and front not sure in how big thay are $100 if ur interested in them

i paid $10 for my 120y bar...

sandblasted it then painted it...
was like a bought one!!

cant go wrong

Yeah I paid about $20 for my 120Y Sway bar and once sanded and painted was as good as new. Has made a difference to the handling. I do not think you would be able to fit a 24mm bar to an A-Series without knocking a big dent in the oil sump. Sounds like overkill.
