    I'd be looking at spring rate and dampers first.

    My car runs a ~27mm front swaybar, but a standard rear. To be honest I think bump and rebound adjustable shocks would be best.

    If you are hard up, then look at dual standards in parallel with clamps.

    Whiteline make a larger rear, but nothing for the front.

    You may be able to borrow mine for the weekend if it fits

    FYI, I have clamps that may work on my TA22. You will obviously have to get your hands dirty though

    As in they need to be removed from the TA22?

    Could probably work, I have another standard bar I could cut the ends of and run for a double.

    Rear shocks have been adressed as axle tramp was becoming a prob.

    Got me some bigbore short stroke pedders jobbies, same shock the HQ race guys use in the rear.

    Want to play with the springs and front inserts next but time and money is a factor atm.


    I'm thinking, a ma61/ra60 bar should go straight in?

    Can anyone confirm.

    The bar is on the car, but it is only undoing 8 nuts...

    You can borrow my front if you want (confirm it fits), but you would be doing the hard work The Celica is my only running car, so I need to know in advance.

    Early Commodore rear springs fit but depending on what you want dont put Pedder in as they are very very stiff made my old 141 wagon near lift off the ground when hit a bump or rut.Try early Cressida for front bar may fit not sure.

    MA61 whiteline 27mm out of jacks drift car (dec.) jobbie fitted straight on my RA60, and RA60 bars fit RT142s, soooo MA61 bar should fit st141.

    standard MA61 swaybar may even be an improvement.

    Excellent news there Will, I will make some measurements N phone calls and hopefully sort something.

    Partly I need a bar that not only is firmer but might allow me to fit a standard pan to the 1j...
