B4 swaybars, are they an upgrade for standard Gen3's?

Im guessing front is turbo specific?

Cheers

Unfortunately I don't know the answer but if they are an upgrade, you are welcome to mine when I change them.

As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;
 
"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"

I should just convert to single, right?

I have a set sitting at home.....

Looking to get them out of the garage. Not mine, and if they are a minor upgrade and someone wants them cheap, its money back to the owner.

Comparing to a RX, the B4's are thinner on the front and fatter on the rear so they help in reducing understeer.
The front is a different shape but will bolt up the the N/a subframe. If you have UELs, they will hit the front bar when you nail it.

From memory the RX bars are F21mm R14mm and B4's are F20mm R17mm.


I have them on my RX.

And just to add to the mix, the S401 sizes are F17mm R19mm.

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

Put the smaller front one on Mark.
It will give you a bit more front grip.



Rough rule is soft grips, stiff slides.

I upgraded my rear to a B4 one. It did make it much more neutral. Sway bar, along with F&R Whiteline/ Super Pro bushes and front HD Whitline links, made the car heaps nicer to drive!

OK. I probably should have read the whole thread. :P

I wouldn't bin the front one though.

Yeah, don't bin it Mark.
Front and rear B4 sways are a cheap and easy upgraded for RX/Heritage owners.

My MY02 RX does not have alloy arms but has B4 bars.
Bolted straight up.

I've not heard of that Jovi. My MY03 RX didn't have alloy arms. As far as I'm aware they ran with the same suspension all the way through.
