Hi I recently got a G200 charade and it has way to much body roll for my likings. To combat this the plan is to hook up some sway bars, first I have a few questions.

The car I'm driving has the stock 18mm bar at the back, and as I understand has a non-cast lower arm at the front (does someone have pictures of the cast and non cast lower arm so I can compare, because im not totally sure)

Does anyone know if the 'heavy duty' sway bars (front BDF19 or 36, and rear BDR 29 or 39) and X heavy (BDF19X and BDR29X) are matched to each other? (in terms of balancing)

I planned to upgrade the rear bar and see how it felt, then do the front if need be. But would the car be unbalanced with the BDF19 and BDR29? I was told that if I was going to put the BDF19 on then I would need to up the back to the BDR29X - does this sound right?

Additionally, I noticed that the only kit option listed for the rear is the BDR39. Is there or will there a kit available for the X heavy sway bar?

Cheers

Sam

Hi Sammus,
As per our discussion earlier the BDF19 will work fine with the BDR29 or BDR29X but we recommend fitting our BDF19 if fitting of the BDR29X, in saying this everyones driving style is different and people drive on different road surfaces therfore we can not make A direct recommendation. As for images of both cast and non - cast arms i will email you directly today, i hope this helps with your decision.

Cheers mate.
Still don't like the look of my ol' stock links on the back, ill have take some measurements so I can get some decent bushes at least if I go the X heavy route.

Also, I might be dropping the de tomaso jap spec 1.6L in there soon... do know if will affect the fitting of the front bar?

cheers

I know theres no such part listed in the catalogue, but is there a way of adding some positive caster to the G200 charade?
