    Getting the sway-bar order but one question. I'm getting it from a friend who owns a mechanical garage and he has said he can get same bar from different providers. Is it safe to stay with Whiteline or what? I can't remember the other names but one was King and another was Trak A or something. Can't really find anything on the net for either...

    Whiteline products are good.

    I'm a little confused by some of the comments, I find minor changes make a huge difference, but;
    - I have the last polo
    - its lowered, has both arb's, braces, etc

    For twisty smooth roads I would happily drive with both sways on hard. At speeds below 70kmph, the turn in grip is great, still with the tyres limitations. For normal driving I now have both whiteline bars on soft and low tyre pressures.

    Understanding what a arb can do and that it's not going to be close to a LSD is important. Cool toy, easy to try the back one, front one requires much more effort.

    Its good to see it makes a difference. Hopefully I will notice it, just need to know what brand. Got quoted $250 for whiteline and the others were even cheaper.

    Ok so turns out its a month wait for the Whiteline, I ended up going for a Brand K-Mac the guy told me that it's basically the same. Has anyone heard anything about these guys are they respectable brand?

    pros
    cons?

    I would have sold you my Whiteline RSB for $200. Had barely any use at all.

    Ah well.

    I would have bought it if you were a day earlier... I just got it ordered today. Why did you take it off?
    I just saw your post as well it's dated 28/03 that's way to far back for me to have found. I can always cancel order. Where about's are you based?

    Never heard of K-mac but it's pretty hard to stuff up an anti-roll bar....

    I'll take that as a positive, sounds like I might not be able to cancel order. He is putting through the request tomorrow but reckons it'll be there come morning if so I have to lump it.

    yeah never heard of them and there isn't much info online. This post made me feel better... It seems K-Mac are pretty good.

    K-Mac Vs Whiteline.
