Hi suby g,

Whiteline only use the highest quality Australian made Spring steel to make all their swaybars.
Technically, there are some variations, but most the the steel of the Grade XK9261S.

thanx mate...
i rally prep vauxhall novas and corsas (barina) to race here in the lake district in england..

....and it would be cheaper for me just to fabricate a set of 25 anti rolebars then buy them off whiteline..
does whiteline manufacture there own polybushes or is there a company that i could buy the required bushes from?

G'day everyone,

suby g, not really sure what you're point is but we are happy to give you contact details of our raw steel and polyurethane supplier.

The Superpro factory in Queensland produces our bushes. They can be contacted on 61-7-3892 9000 or sales@fulcrumsuspensions.com.au .

Alternatively, one of the biggest suppliers of raw polyurethane in Australia is ERA Polymers and they are located in Botany (Sydney) but we do not have their details handy though they would be an even cheaper source. Another big one is Uniroyal and I know they have an office in the UK.

Onesteel is our supplier of spring steel but I'm sure you can find a local equivalent supplier in the UK.

Let us know if there is anything else you need.

Cheers

alright jim...
i have two problems that i have encountered so far
the first one is whitelines anti role bar for the barina patented..
if so i would have to modify the desgin.
also are there any government laws in austaralia stateing about the testing of your anti role bars.

i would like to know if u have anyone in the uk that sells your bars under licenece. if not. i would be interested.

Hi suby g,

Our swaybars are not patented, in most cases that are designed to replace the original swaybar.

There is no Australian standards on swaybar testing to our knowledge.

We have a number of dealers around the world including the UK. Details here http://www.whiteline.com.au/dealers_os.htm#United Kingdom

Cheers

That is the cutest and weirdest rally car I have ever seen? Looks like a Geo Metro. What the hell is it? Is it 4WD? I'm in the USA, I don't know if we have that car here, certainly not in 4WD layout.

I love it, thanks for the pics. I wish I had one parked in front of my house, RHD and everything.

I don't think that car was ever brought to these shores.

Those look like ITBs with a surge tank.
