swayin in the breeze...

[SiKiD_01]

can anyone tell me any info on removing sway bar on the front of a vitara? i know how to do it, its more, should i do it?

are/ will there be any problems from doing this? any experiences?
i've heard of drive shafts being pulled out of the hub assembly on independant suspension cars at full droop/flex. is this true?

thanks

[antt]

i did mine

didn't notice any negative effects on road at all, off road made a bit of difference. i've got 2inch strut spacers plus the longer old man emu struts in the front of mine and have never had a driveshaft pull out, so it should be all good

i`ve had mine off for about 3 years with no worries so far

[Gonzo]

oh and i`ve got 2 inch lifted springs, 30mm coil spacers and flipped strut mounts (2 inches extra downtravel)

Do it. I've barely noticed any difference since it "fell off" in the garage.

What you also desperately need to do is get rid of those rear shocks though. That is such a crap flex shot



not my best one but can't be botherd uploading one right now.

[antt]

yes, cressida shocks are the go

[Gonzo]

how do the cressida shocks go on compression?

[Beastmavster]

Fine with the amount of lift you've got - as you have similar to Antt and I now. MX62 Cressida - ask for them by name- 600mm long

Dont use them with stock springs though or they'll be useless - no compression.

If you have little lift you need something like HQ shocks 520mm long - same as OME

I have heard of commodore VP shocks being used (740mm)

i just went into supercheap, looked in the gabriel book for toyota cressida, and they're the sedan one's, i think iirc the wagon ones are only 450mm or something extended, cost like $70 for the pair
