[QUOTE=sukebe]Fair enough. Yours probably looks neater, and you can be proud in saying its Nuespeed. I'm really not fussed on design as long as it serves its designed purpose, and I can't see any particularly weak links in the whiteline design (except maybe the endlink bushes, but I would need to replace them 10 times before the nuespeed is financially justified).

keep ya pants on dude the only reason i comment is cos this is a forum which people read and its nice to have extra information that other people can read and base their choices on.

btw i was just having a look at the whiteline website. they list their bar as only being 22mm. The neuspeed ones come in either 25 or 28mm i think. I have heard other people say their whiteline ones are 25mm but there doesnt seem to be one available? are u able to confirm what yours is?

Woah! Woah! Timbo. No disrespect from me here! I'm sorry if you read that tone in my response as it was not intended. All I was trying to say was that a swaybar is a fairly low-tech piece of equipment with little engineering R&D required for it to perform appropriately (though I'm sure the Nuespeed one may be more effective) . I can clearly appreciate the difference between a $1000 and $2000 set of coilovers, but the difference (for me) between a $200 and $450 swaybar is not nearly as noticeable. Heck, if a man like Matt who has poured endless $$$ into his VR is happy with a whiteline swaybar, then its good enough for me. I understand there are people who want that extra notch in quality/design/performance, but for me, especially in this instance, I can't justify the cost difference.

This is like comparing apples to oranges.
If the mounting places are different and the steel is different, the sizes cannot be compared.

I just don't like their attitude.

its all good i only ask questions cos im curious. Forums are the only way some of us get to learn stuff.

Cool. Not sure of the size (don't have calipers). I suspect 22mm.

In other news, 40cm of snow fell at Mt BawBaw in the last 48hrs. Hopefully it will last till Saturday and I can pull out the X-country skis again!
