great fun in the dry though!!

is the rear on a corsa part of rear beam? this is the way it is on my golf, then the eibach is just an extra one on the rear that is held against the rear beam via brackets and the bottom rear shock bolts

it will also increase turn in though

understeer really only comes into play in wet/damp conditons

also the rear end will be more twitchy in the wet

Ok, not all Vauxhall Corsas/Opel corsas can with rear anti-roll bars. A 1995 1.2 for example would be fitted with a 19mm front anti-roll bar, but no rollbar for the rear. A Sport 1.6 on the other hand has a 24mm anti-roll bar on the front and 19mm on the back. Just remember that a thicker anti-roll bar will induce understeer more.

Hey fellas,

Our Barina is EXACTLY the same as your Corsa. The only difference is that ours display different name tags. :D And we never got the diesels.

Kris, all Barinas have a front AND rear swaybar. An anti-roll bar IS a swaybar, yeah? I don't know of any car that doesn't have one? :)

I was told by Whiteline that the antiroll bars most probably fit but they cannot be sure...

I agree with Kris TD, the layout of suspension is the same

i'm trying to find out the same, but about their springs with koni shocks.
I saw a picture in their site (real handling for barinas)
and it seems to be the same suspension setup, but I'm not sure.
I have Eibach anti-roll bars and they make a huge improvement.
I don't know if it helped, but it's the best I can do...:)

Anyone with a european Corsa tried fitting Whiteline swaybars?
I contacted them in Australia but they don't know if they fit european Corsas because the suspension setup on the barinas is slightly different.
They offer a kit with a 27mm front and 22mm rear bars.They must make a huge difference when cutting around tight turns!
Anyone?
