greenmac80 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 hmmm they look good! the rear one looks like it'll bolt to the diff so that can be helpful for the ke30 diffs. hey measure the difference between stock and the pedders ones. if they are thicker then they willl be stiffer. chuck em in and see what happens!

I'm heaps happy i only got them for $100 cheers shaun Quote
coln72 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 I ended up removing the rear one I had because without a LSD of locker it had too much inside wheelspin. And when I had a locker, it had shit loads of oversteer - like power oversteer in third gear when I was autocrossing. Quote

shauns ke30 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 Ebay? yeppp long story short but i sorta new the bloke.. it was of his ke55 project car i think was a hillclimb car but he never got around to finishing it. cheers shaun Quote
Calam05 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 was looking at them. do they make a difference? Quote
Felix Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 do they make a difference? Yep, the rear bar takes away drive out of corners (unless you run an LSD or locker) and makes the rear of the car more nervous in the wet. Like coln72 said, when cornering hard the rear bar will unload the inside rear tyre. Years ago I used to have a ke30 2 door and fitted an aftermarket adjustable twinned front bar and rear bar. Think the add-on front bar was a Selbys and the rear Kmac. I took the rear bar back off as it handled MUCH better on all the rough country bitumen and dirt roads I drove on. Quote

Sonds like the set up I had on my KE35. Std front bar piggybacked with an additional bar that came off a Mazda and no rear bar. Quote
shauns ke30 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 hay all i got 3 1/2in lowering blocks for my ke30 for free the other day that I'm going to fit to the rear of the car.... will the rear sway bar I'm going to fit (pictured up top of page) help stop the axel tramp????????? or do i have to get my leafs reset????????? cheers shaun Quote
SLO-030 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 3.5 inch lowering blocks will make axle tramp worse. Just get the leaves reset in the first place. Sway bars only minimise bodyroll..not axle tramp. Quote
