Front anti roll bar- Whiteline vs TRD
I want to buy a front anti roll bar but cant decide between these two.
TRD is more expensive and includes bushes but since I have changed my bushes I am leaning to Whiteline extra heavy duty (27mm)
what should I buy ? please help
thanks

It depends on your rear swaybar, and your purpose with the car Wink

if your only doing tarmac they are no good .....
they should only be used on gravel, snow , etc
they transfer weight the wrong way around if the purpose is tarmac

I am gonna use my car on tarmac only(for now) but on a bad tarmac, with bilstein b6 and 4.5kg/mm spring front , koni yellow 3.0 kg/mm back, 35mm lowering.
plan was to put "softer" springs whit harder anti roll bar because I heard that is good option for bad tarmac and now you are telling me that is no good. I am confused. what shall I do??

well, if you put a big swaybar on the front, you're gonna loosen up the rear end, it gets more oversteered. So if you place a rear swaybar too, it'll be better.

Doc, it's the other way around. A larger bar reduces roll angle but also reduces grip at the end if is fitted. So a larger front bar increase understeer, all else being equal.
The only way to decide between soft spring+stiff bars vs. stiff spring+soft bars is experience.

would start without them ( even the OEM ones ) and add if necessary.

they do reduce the grip on the axes they are installed, but sometimes they are needed to balance the car .... (or to avoid body roll in OEM cars)

I read somewhere on this forum ( lad was from Greece I think) that on a bad roads 6/4 springs are not so good on a bad tarmac because car bounces off the curve and now you are telling me that softer springs+harder roll bar is also no good ?!? what should I do??
I am so confused !

softer springs is a good idea but you should TRY to avoid the roll bars ... as in ...test the car first with the standard ones or none ....
if the body rolls too much then add stronger roll bars ....
