Decided that while the motor and box were out that it would be an ideal opportunity to upgrade the front sway bar. Already done the rear with one from Whiteline, but was unable to locate an 'off the shelf' item for the ST205.
So pulled the original one off and took a trip down to Snells Springs in Auckland who made a copy with a 19mm diameter...

Considerably larger than the standard 15mm it should improve things no end biggrin.gif

I think that a 21/22mm bar would be way too large and would adversely affect the handling - especially on what is basically going to be an everyday car. Go too large on the front sway bar and there is the potential to induce unwanted understeer.
