Has anyone done just the Whiteline sway bar kit upgrade BHK012 on their series 2 VF Redline?
A few have done coilovers, shocks, springs etc as well as this upgrade.
Just wanted to know how it rides, where the improvements are and how it is on the road as mine is a daily
doing 50 k or so a year. ( but not this year ) Front & rear sway bars with bushes & front sway bar links.

I could be wrong, I’m used to it, but I thought that anti-roll bars usually don’t contribute very much at all to the damping-response of the suspension to bumps? ie. shouldn’t hurt ride-quality much if at all?

The ones on my old Volvo are very oversized for the application, yet along with the Bilstein B8’s and the “superlow” King springs (they were calculated out by a good suspension shop & turned out to be identical in specs to an off-the-shelf offering to fit a VB-VC), it’s actually really good at absorbing bumps without trying to fling me off the road when there’s a mid-corner irregularity (oh and every bush is nolathane).

I did whiteline adjustable sway bars in my VT.
Swaybars are obviously more about transferring weight, so flatter in corners etc

keep in mind that redlines already have bigger bars stock.

the vf2 redlines stock bars handel very well, driven hard through corners they sit flat on the road, unless your building a track circuit car i would not bother changing them
