Wildfire SS Ute

[Maccas90]

I just spoke to the bloke who will be doing the work on my ute. He wants to use Whiteline Sway Bars – 22mm in the Rear and 26mm on the Front (or strut brace ) I mentioned what you just said about drivability etc. he said that the only issue would be if I’m driving up a steep driveway on an angle it might lift one of my tyres up. In regards to driving though, he said it would be amazing for everyday and track…

Is Whiteline any good?

I agree with you in regards to the Strut Brace, makes the engine bay look nicer
What do you mean by pimped though, what can you do to them to make them look better?
Yea I love my rims.

mate, give HTD Central Queensland a call for a cam package. They do some great work.
Don't know if its too far for you though.

Thanks mate, these guys are in Mackay though? Which is about 1,000kms drive from me haha.

Hahaha sh!t 1,000 km....

whiteline is the way to go man...
get both front and rear swaybars and then get a strutbrace for the engine bay if you want.

Oh I may have stuffed up here... strutbrace is the one that sits in the engine bay isn't it. What does it do, just increase the stiffness more?
Thought that was the sway bar lol shows how much I know about them...
And the sway bar sits underneath with the suspension?

EDIT: Just spoke to Paul (the bloke who will do the work)
He reckons the strut bar will make bugger all difference.

But they look COOL lol

 

[Maccas90]

That they do lol. I wonder how much they cost. Paul said he could order one in if I want...

 

[HussySV6]

Well depending on the price , you should get one. Would make the engine bay look tuff az

Looking on the Whiteline site they are $249 for a Polished Alloy one.

like you I want to tighten up the ride a bit so upgraded sway bars is the way to go, in previous threads whiteline got the tick of approval
these forums are a great way to learn stuff and learn the right terms..
I want to pimp up my engine bay a bit (away from standard anyway), I've removed the turtle, and am thinking of replacing the dip stick (you can get a chrome dagger handle instead of naf yellow ringlet...)and all caps with maybe engraved chrome.. (not sure yet), engine cover (black walkinshaw) and I thought a black or carbonfibre looking strutbrace (it may not make too much performance difference but call me shallow I reckon it would tart up the engine bay nicely)
chrome washer reservoir, fuse box etc, there's some good(?) ideas at this site
