Sway bar change

[madsav]

Hi guys, i know there is a slight diffrence between the vx and the vt fron sway bar,
Just wondering if there is a way to change my vt sway bar to a vx one ?also would there be any diffrence in the control of the car?
its for a vt ss v8 2000 model

get a whiteline 30mm front swaybar, i noticed that my SS handles much more confidently and the front end goes straight where i point it

Cheers mate, what price did you pay for it?

[GEN3RATD]

i was quoted $945 for a front 30mm adjustable and rear 20mm adjustable whiteline swaybar installed, apperently its a shit job so i got a suspension place to do it. would probably be $200-$300 for just a front one

Did you have Pedders do it?

VT V8 models had a 25mm bar except for VT SS models which had a 26mm front bar (not sure about FE2 option). VX models all had 26mm bar as standard except for FE2 option models which had a 27mm bar. So to get any benefit (since you have a VT SS) you would have to fit a bar from a VX model that had FE2 fitted.

nope, WA Suspensions. i know the owner, so i got it cheaper. $945 was what i was quoted sorry

I believe that to do it you have to either A) remove the engine, or B) drop the crossmember. Both are pretty big jobs.

definately have to drop the cross member, thats why i got a mechanic to do it

What about the d shaped bushes, to replace them do you still have to drop the crossmember? In a vt with ls1

I'm pretty sure you can get to the d-bushes through the engine bay but not 100% sure. I will bw trying it this way soon hopefully.
