Nothing to do with taking it personally, but claiming you don't believe lowering roll stiffness will help is very confusing. Is it that you don't believe lowering roll stiffness will help or you don't believe a swaybar raises roll stiffness?

I'll add too that it doesn't matter what diameter the tyres you are going to try are - it's all about the offset of the rims. With the "right" offset your current tyres could help to fix the problem too.

Calmini clearly state this kit is designed for offset rims and a bar and winch.

Steve.


Listen steve you wanna help then help, I'm going to try a set of 31 x 10.5 R15 Rims and tyres on a -15 Offset rim FIRST. I didn't say that im going to rule Pulling the swaybar off completly... I Will work my way through a few things that i need to get on the car first before i pull it off though.


Seriously dude WTF?? You ask for advice and you are given sound advice. How much more help can one offer to you. How hard is it to disconnect the bloody sway bar off the front end? Surely cant be longer than grabbing and changing over a set of tyres....
Don't understand how just changing over a set of tires and rims with more offset is gonna fix your issue but interested to see how it all pans out...

Looks like you need to get some weight on the front. That would have to be an uncomfortable ride.
Steel bar, winch and twin batteries up front will fix it :lol:

I have a $20 that says that removing the swaybar won't fix the problem of it lifting wheels on the tar. :roll:

These kits work fine with a swaybar hooked up. I had the Calmini swaybar set that I used on my Vit it had a lot more torsional strength that a stock bar and it never lifted wheels like Stocker is saying. Having said that I did run GV rims with a nice offset to help, but it sounds like there is more going on.

I am guessing but I think you will find there is no droop in your suspension. I would check the seating of the coils in the arms, that combined with shocks and the fact you have no weight in the front are a likely cause.

Get some money together and get down here and buy this bar off me. :wink:

Ok. I've just got back in from approx 300kms south of darwin... Stupid pumps...


Steve. I will try your idea. i haven't procured any rims or tyres yet... or even had a chance to do what atari said and lift the front wheels out to see if the shocks have any travel left in them.. i have just got back in from being away from home for more than a week.

As to the people posting up stupid pictures of stupid brick walls, go f%!k yourself :) sounds good to me.

Yes we can all be stubborn at times. and yes i was being stubborn and i should have just taken some simple advice, i put it down to frustration... i just spent a shit load of money on my car, and now its not driving right...
So. Sorry Steve, if we ever go wheeling i will buy you a beer :)

Yes Rikstr i have started saving for that bar and i want it bad. i may have enough to buy it 2morro just got check my pay when it comes in.
