Anyone know a source for them? google suggested no-one.

Specifically a rear bar for a 2001 Altezza RS200Z

Go to your local Ripco, take lube with you and get ready to bend over... (For Whiteline)

What do you want the rear swaybar for??

MORE oversteer

The title should have read "Hotchkiss sway bars in NZ and cheap place for rear tyres" :lol:

The reason for the hotchkiss one is that it has quite a few adjustments/mounts on it so you can go right from stock to ~200% stiffer than stock with the same bar, it means that I can buy one bar, and change it to whatever setting I feel more comfortable with.

After a week of driving I've managed to sort out the oversteer issues... a change in driving style fixed it...

havnt checked the listings for whiteline, but if they do a bar it will be adjustable.
