spetz would know..

i think he mentioned about whiteline 18mm adjustable front sway bar for fto which he reckon it's suitable for his mirage or lancer.

gpx comes with 16mm stock.

gpvr has a thicker ones but not sure if they're interchangeable.

I have the Whiteline FTO 20mm front and 22mm rear (both adjustable).
However with Tein SS coilovers and superpro bushes all around the ride became pretty stiff, mostly suited to track use.

Are you thinking of upgrading?
If you haven't done springs/shocks/strut bars first, I would start from there, and only upgrade if there is too much body roll

Why not just replace it with a stock one from someone wrecking an FTO?
You can use a Version R one, but it's a hassle as you need the lower control arms, and all this is quite rare

Signature Swaybars in Taren point have the FTO jig, can do them in whatever size you like, GPX style.

Fulcrum can also do Selbys Swaybars to suit.

Any mob with a spring steel puller can make them from an existing unit.

and the reason i dont want a used one is theyve been used and had stress put on them and the same thing may happen, so thats why i want a new strong one, i kinda drive my fto a little hard haha

Also don't forget that Cusco also make swaybars for the FTO, if you wanted some extra JDMness ;)
