I am going to get the rear sway bar put in next Tuesday. I already have the front strut bar.

I was wondering if the offset kit is required? I see there is double and single kit. My car pull slightly to the left. Is there any issue getting the double offset or should I get the single? The cost and labour will be the same just don't want to pay twice.

Everyone seems to be going for the double offset kit, just make sure it is for a 50 series. The 40 series is different so I found out the hard way and now have a spare one.

Guys, ive got no idea about suspension parts, but I do know I would like to improve the handling a bit of my GSV50R. My understanding is the best course of action is 1. Sway bar and 2. double offset kit - is this correct?

1. What is the best bang for buck sway bar currently available?

2. Regarding the double offset kit - is this the correct one below? 

3. What would it cost to fit the above / can it be done at my regular mechanic or should I get someone specialised in suspension setups? I am in Revesby NSW if you can recommend anyone, I am not great at DIY so would prefer to get it installed by a shop


Cheers

My question is, would the ride be compromised with the use of the poly bushes ? I would still like it to ride smoothly over bumps.

Here's a snippet of the above double offset bushing fitting guide. The last line is intriguing..

Follow the installation instructions and enjoy the results!

Vehicle Application Information:

  • Performance Handling Kit
  • Fitting Position: Front
  • Axle alignment required after fitting
  • Fitting Time [min.]: 150
  • Fitting Difficulty: difficult

I asked my mechanic for a cost to fit these bushings, and he said he doesnt recommend them - thinks better to stick with rubber OEM bushings to keep the comfortable daily driver ride quality. Having a look at a few other car forums, seems similar advice out there. Do the poly bushes make it much of a harsher ride? Also I hear they can end up squeaking compared to rubber bushings..
