  • 940 Turbo - 25 mm Front and Rear IPD sway bar

Whiteline made a 24mm 740 sway bar at some point might be out of stock now though.

Ultra racing in Malaysia do a 23mm solid rear sway bar.

Might be worth giving Whiteline a call and if theres enough want for it within the 7/9 owners they could maybe reproduce a few sets

    Cool, keep us updated

      I've also heard that Falcon front Sway Bars swap in with ease? 27mm I believe.

        Thanks Lachie. Hoping someone in Oz had the IPD matched front and rear set for sale but no luck so far

        Thats for 240

          IPD sways are on sale at the moment, but would still be $600 by the time you got them here.

          For that money I'd be going to the wreckers with a tape measure and seeing what would fit or could be adapted to fit from the 4x4/Ute world. Or just running 2 or 3 stock swaybars.

          No luck with Pedders or K-Mac

          A phone cal to K-Macl may be more effective, he can be a bit slow on email.

          They make their bars to order from spring steel in-house.

            Tried a call to K-Mac. No luck unless I want them to tool up for a custom job which = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

            I think im going to wait for the dollar to go back up and then do a big IPD/Kaplhenke order. Ill make a thread when that time comes and we can all save up on shipping :)

            I'm in Brisbane, and am interested in some IPD sway bars for my 940 turbo wagon. I checked to see what shipping would be for 2 sway bar kits and it wasn't that much more expensive, so perhaps if we can get a few people together we could organise an order? Cheers, Evan

              Literally emailed them this afternoon about that. Will keep you guys posted

                To me the real issue is the king springs are not that great for handling improvements I've found. I've ended up with coil overs and Gaz shocks as have a few friends but also the Whiteline bars are good. Classic swede do upgraded adjustable gaz shocks and they are well suited. They do springs too.

                Going so stiff in the rear on the sway bar isn't going to be that great unless you have stiffened the rest of the bushes. Also adding caster to the front made my 740 feel a lot better and that's also pretty simple to do!

                am I correct in saying whiteline stopped making the sway bars for 740/940? I’ve replaced most of my bushings to poly and would love it to stay even a little flatter on corners…

                If you communicated with them and they say they are out of production, I'm sure they don't.

                I would assume you did the rear control arms as well then, as they make a difference overall.

                You can also use a 760/960 24mm front sway bar. But the king's springs are not very stiff and the Bilstien hd/b6s are not very stiff either so you will have roll.

                The best results I had with flatter cornering is getting rid of the king springs and Bilstiens. But I also expect the car to have roll because it weighs 1600kgs with me in it. It's not an mx5. It still grips, just leans a bit like every one of my street cars.

                I agree with Vee_que, the king springs are horribly undersprung in 7/9s.

                I did contact whiteline a while ago and gave the guy on the phone the part number for the front adjustable sway bar and he basically laughed at me and said I dont even know where you got that from, its been at least 10 years since ive even seen the part number.

                So, I guess that means IPD is the best bet for the sway bars? Has IPD been in touch. Just thinking if we could get a few people to order they might do a deal and shipping would be loads cheaper
