Quick update, still haven't figured out how to get rid of the thud from the back of the car every time I go over bumps/holes at more than ~3km/h. :/

Posted this on FB for anyone that's interested. We'll have a new supplier of swaybars shortly.
I've just shipped a stock GPX swaybar down to Signature Swaybars in Nowra, so they'll now be able to produce them. Seeing as Whiteline have gone EOL on their FTO swaybars. I've asked for a 24mm one to be made for myself, and once I've confirmed their jig is good & it fits, you'll be able to order any size. I've asked that they be 3 points adjustable as well. Hopefully next week.

Given this is a relevant opportunity, heard anything about this strange "no sway bars and stiffer spring rates = more outright grip"?? (this is coming from a guy in the UK haha)
