Does anyone have or recommend a sway bar for the versa?

I noticed Whiteline has one, but by the time it would get here... the cost is over 350.00http://www.whiteline.com.au/pr...NR16Z

Looks like a simple bar, simple install...

This car needs one and I was just wondered what others are doing.

YOU ROCK!!! I was looking for a typical sway-bar... but that will work. I may just do the entire line of braces.

Seems like a nice well rounded package

Thanks again guys... braces are in-route

Looks like I will have to have an install day. I will just add this to the pile of parts rapidly building up.

with the ultra racing front and rear chassis braces, sway bar, front and rear strut bars (not ultra racing), tanabe springs and good tires the versa handles amazingly well. now all i need is coils.

added sway bar today...

Versa front lower brace- stiffens the front of the car's sub frameVersa front strut tower brace -keeps the strut towers in placeVersa rear lower brace -stiffens the area around the rear sub-frameVersa rear shock tower brace - added stiffen rear upper body.Versa rear sway (anti-roll) bar -keeps the body flat on turns, also makes the rear "dig" betterVersa Sedan rear strut brace - same as rear shock tower

Now does the car NEED all of this, it's open for descussion.

What I feels is the Versa is not going to be great at straight line acceleration or stopping like a rock star. What I can make this car do is turn, very well. This stuff along with better shocks/struts, springs and better wheels and TIRES will make this thing Fun as hell in the curves...

Really good ride. I can make sharp turns without rolling, rear suspension feels stiffer and more reponsive. Overall, worth upgrade.

Only option for Canadians really is a P.O Box if they ship to them.

i went to fill out the order form on micro image's website, but no option for Canada, state/province is an option, but no Canadian provinces showed up as a choise, so i emailed Garm and he says he'll find out shipping costs and get back to me. it does say on the site that orders outside U.S. will need to be called in and ordered.

Shipping, taxes if any and then the Brokerage charges.

Again it depends on who you get at customs the day your package arrives at the border.

i asked microimage why the price differences and they replied with this:

I'm a dealer, UR is a manufacturer. It would be unprofessional (and less profitable) for them to sell at a discount. Further, I am willing to purchase, store, advertise and sell the products in the USA - that is valuable to the manufacturer.
