Sway Bars
« on: June 21, 2003, 06:01:00 PM »
While under my car one day I noticed that the sway bars on the capri are nice tho small and thin in size. Im not sure how the capri actually handles so well with body roll with those small bars. Has anyone tried to use the suspension technique bars for the older capri. Had customs done or know of retail ones for the capri devloped for other cars maybe like the 323?

I think NA Capri could use XR2 rear sway bar as upgrade..

Also I noticed that front sway bar on my XR2 is like 30 mm! That's huge!

Just to bump this topic and may get new info. The 94 capri has same sway bars as the turbo model. Addco makes Rear sway bar upgrades that are 3/4" but doesnt anyone know a front one?

addco ?........ I would be interested in a rear  sway bar upgrade. who is addco?
For you people out there with automatics.....i  upsized my exhaust, went to a cone filter,and added  sway bars.......and every add on made a big difference.it gets better gas mileage and is a blast to cruise in.....sometimes more fun than the XR-2.

Thanks Anthony, that made it easier to find them as I am not a computer whizz. Any info out there about polyurethane sway bar bushings? do they make a difference? or has anyone tried lower rear floor bars or door bars? the biggest improvements I've seen with mods is in the suspension upgrades. getting the chassis ridged is the key.

Get someone to weld you up a roll cage. I've been considering it.

You can get swaybar upgrades from http://www.whiteline.com.au

The thing I was wondering is... would the antilift kit for the 323 fit the capri???

I just put the bar off of my xr2 parts car on ebay. If someone with a n/a wants it. I'm not asking much for it.
