fitting the rear whiteline sway bar

[CMF_1300cc]

to all members who fitted a rear sway bar, do you have to replace the drop link, and what setting-soft,medium or hard.

You dont have to. I did not but you prob should

how did u set yours, soft medium or hard?

just try it first! ive got mine on hard, but you should start on soft and move up. Beware of what the handling will be on low grip, such as in the rain, when you are setting it up in the dry. Also like sik said, you dont have to change the droplinks, but as ive found out the stock ones dont last long with the uprated sway bars extra force. Also having proper links should make the swaybar more effective and precise.

and a tip to stop the sway bar moving left and right, Cut a small piece of PVC pipe (similar diameter to the sway bar) slip it over the swaybar on one side of the mount (one of the two on the axle) and use a hose clamp to fix it on right up against the mount, then repeat on the other (opposite) side. simple and works a treat.

good luck

p.s. apparently whiteline sell two styles of upgraded droplinks, one is rose/heim jointed on both sides (higher NVH but better response) and the other is like this:
