    MRT in Rhodes

    I was thinking of getting Whiteline rear sway bar installed on my Polo at MRT. Anyone has any experience dealing with them? Reviews? They're meant to be Subaru and Mitsubishi specialists, so, I'm not sure how they're with their Euro's. Alternatively, any recommendations on where I can get one installed?

    Do it yourself.No drilling holes or anything.Just bolts with U bolts and brackets,then to new bolts through shock absorbers.Couldn't be easier.

    I don't have any experience with MRT, but one would think that would be quite capable of installing a rear sway bar. Fairly easy from all indications if you've got the tools.

    The M4 isn't too far from Rhodes, I recommend you head down to Girraween. Take the Cumberland Hwy exit, get yourself onto the Great Western Hwy heading west and visit Euromotive.

    I know for certain that Seb knows how to put it on. He is a VW / Audi specialist.

    MRT Performance

    Hi,
    I have dealt with MRT Performance when they were rallying the Daihatsu Charade...yes I had a Charade. I purchased whiteline sway bars, bushes etc for the charade and found them quite helpful.

    However, a couple of years later I had the misfortune of dealing with Mr Middleton (the owner) in a personal deal on eBay...lets just say he was not the most honourable seller I have dealt with.

    Would I deal with MRT Perfomance again...not on your life...I value honesty and integrity.

    I'll hop down off my soap box now

    MRT mainly deal with Jap performance car, but for RSB installation you can just go to any garage if you don't want to make you own hand dirty.
    I'm sure MRT is very happy to charge you 2 hours labour to do it if you bring it to them.

    Hmmmm - Craig The German - the third previous Charade owner I've found here (myself included G200 - great little cars - love them - spend a couple of grand on the suspension and tyres and drive around Porsches on the twisties .

    MRT are not held in high regard with anyone with sense. They gouge more than an AFL/ARL player in a pub fight.

    Charades

    Hi PeterHBne,

    I had a mighty G100...you know the one...993cc of awesome power. I also did up the suspension, struts, swaybays, bushes etc. I rejetted the carby, fitted a bigger CAI...finer filter...what more can you do when you have 3 cylinders. My theory was that it took me so long to get up to speed that I couldn't afford to slow down for the corners ...hense all the suspension work

    Another charade owner on this forum. I had a G102 1.3L.

    As for fitting the swaybars you could always try whiteline themselves. They used to fit customer cars, they did my brother-inlaw's WRX. Im not sure if they still do customer cars these days. Last time I checked they were still in Minto.

    Check again.I believe you'll find they're on the Central Coast around Somerby.
