Selby/Signature swaybars

Post by shadowarrior »

Anybody heard of them? Are they any good?
Was trying to chase a Whiteline swaybar brand new, but since they are not making any more FTO bars I have the option of getting a bar made by Todd Selby, who made Selby sway bars (and now makes Signature sway bars).

Not sure if I should go ahead or not.... not sure about build quality etc from them.

Selbys/Signature are no longer mate. Fulcrum have bought up the lot. You can still buy 'em, but just expect that Fulcrum premium on the price tag... and we all know... you of all people wont wear that :lol:

Oh we are so overdue for another custom rank :lol:

By the way, Kmac also do them. I'm due to go see them next week, I'm looking at having a 25mm rear one made.

Hah :D
I want a custom forum rank :)

Well the story goes:

GSL Rallysport advertised a huge sale on Whiteline swaybars before Christmas. So I promptly placed an order for the rear 22. I was supposed to get the swaybars delivered by mid Jan. But when I called up, it seems they couldn't find any stock of the swaybar, and Whiteline has stopped making them as well.

Now GSL Rallysport has given me the option to:
a) Get my money back
b) Give them stock sway bar, and they will replicate it via Signature Swaybar. A 18mm solid (instead of hollow) sway bar, which they are saying is better than my stock hollow sway bar (also 18mm). Don't think it will be adjustable either. They will cover the cost of getting me that swaybar.

My personal option c) I just got brand new rear sway bar bushes from Bennoz...just use that and put the money in something else :)
If I come across a Whiteline bar on sale or on ebay or even a GpvR bar, i can grab that.

How much are the GPX and/or GPvR (is there a difference) rear sway bars?

Looking to upgrade my rear one (GR.. 20mm I think??) when I do my bushes.
I fix cars.

I've been trying to find front and rear sway bars too. I miss the handling of the Evo. I've been looking at the Ultra Racing rear 23mm but the price tag is ridiculous.

Let the hunt begin :cyclopsani:

I just picked up a Whiteline one off ebay for $225 shipped. There might still be some there. I'll see if I can find the link. Or it might've been the last one, I can find the link again, but doesn't have the option to buy! sorry. :lol:

Selby swaybars are still around, but the majority of the company was bought out by Fulcrums. They still make custom bars to order out of a workshop in nowra area from memory, saw one on the rear of a hilux not long ago ;)
