Let's take a deep dive into our Grip Series Performance Kits and how they transform everyday driving into a more engaging, balanced and adrenaline inducing driving experience.

What are Grip Series Kits?

Whiteline Grip Series Kits, also known as Complete Performance Suspension Kits, are an all-in-one solution for anyone looking to enhance their cars balance, steering precision, grip levels and overall driving performance. These kits combine critical suspension components to deliver superior control and stability and are tailored for a wide range of vehicle makes and models.

Sway Bars

What role do sway bars play? Sway bars, also known as stabiliser bars or anti-roll bars, are fundamental components of Whiteline's Grip Series Kits. Whiteline Sway bars are made from high quality steel and are an essential part of the vehicle’s suspension system connecting the right and left sides of the suspension. Their primary purpose is to reduce a vehicle's body roll during fast cornering and other lateral forces.

What do sway bars do? Sway bars play a crucial role in improving road and track handling. They help maintain vehicle balance and reduce body roll during tight cornering, which is essential for maintaining stability at high speeds. Sway bars achieve this by providing a resisting force against the inclination to tilt. This is particularly beneficial for cars prone to excessive body roll due to their higher centre of gravity.

How do sway bars work? The mechanism behind sway bars involves torsional spring, which resists twisting forces during lateral movements. This action distributes weight more evenly across all four tyres, thereby enhancing grip and reducing the likelihood of understeer or oversteer. Sway bars are an integral part of Whiteline's Grip Series Kits, ensuring that vehicles not only perform better during maneuvers but also exhibit a smoother ride over uneven surfaces.

Lowering Springs

What are lowering springs? Lowering springs are crucial elements of the Performance Suspension Kit. Made from high-quality steel, these springs are coiled in various diametres and tensions to suit different vehicle types and driving demands. Lowering springs are generally shorter than standard coil springs, and lowers the vehicle's ride height, reducing drag and improving handling.

What do lowering springs do? Lowering springs are a fundamental component of Whiteline's Grip Series Kits. They are specifically engineered to lower the vehicle's profile and stance, which decreases wind resistance and lowers the car's centre of gravity. Lowering the centre of gravity improves handling by reducing the amount of leaning or 'body roll' the car experiences in corners, as a result enhances the driver’s control and the vehicle’s responsiveness.

What are the performance benefits of lowering springs? By using performance lowering springs, such as those found in Suspension Lowering Kits, drivers can expect a sharper response and more precise control over their car, making it ideal for both daily driving and adrenaline inducing driving conditions such as on track. The integration of lowering springs with sway bars in Grip Series Performance Suspension Handling Kits creates a balanced, comprehensive upgrade that significantly boosts both the aesthetic appeal and functional capabilities of any car.

While sway bars and lowering coil springs form the foundational elements of our Whiteline Grip Series Kits, we will further uncover other aftermarket suspension upgrades and components, such as links and chassis bracing, all of which significantly elevate a vehicle's handling and stability.

What is included in Grip Series Kits?

Whiteline's Grip Series Kits have been expertly constructed to improve a vehicle’s overall handling performance which combines high performance suspension upgrade components. Each component within the Grip Series Kit is engineered to ensure improved stability, control, and handling.

Front and Rear Coil Springs - Lowered

Front and Rear Lowering Springs - are essential components of the Lowering and Handling Performance Kit. These springs are meticulously designed to lower the vehicle’s stance, thereby enhancing its visual appeal and improving overall handling. It reduces the centre of gravity, which greatly improves handling, reducing body roll during both acceleration and tight cornering. Despite being lower and stiffer, these springs are engineered to retain a level of comfort suitable for everyday driving, making them perfect for drivers also seeking a practical upgrade that doesn’t compromise on performance.

Front and Rear Sway Bars

Front and Rear Sway Bars, also known as Anti-Roll or Stabiliser bars, are a vital component to the Whiteline Grip Series Kits. They are designed to drastically reduce body roll and enhance lateral stability during sharp turns. These bars connect the opposite sides of a vehicle's suspension system, providing a firmer and more responsive driving experience. By balancing a car's weight more evenly across its tyres, these sway bars improve grip and steering precision, essential for maintaining control at higher speeds. Adjustable settings allow for customization to match driver preferences and road conditions, ensuring optimal performance for both daily driving and performance-focused track events or meets.

Sway Bar Links

Sway Bar Links ensure the sway bars function effectively, making them an integral part of the Performance Enhancement Suspension Kit. These robust and durable components guarantee that the sway bars’ anti-roll force is directly transmitted to the suspension, enhancing the vehicle's stability and response during dynamic maneuvers.

Suspension Bushings

Bushings included in the Complete Performance Suspension Kit are made from Whiteline’s advanced polyurethane technology, offering superior resistance to the elements and distortion underload. These bushings are pivotal in stabilizing the vehicle’s suspension under high cornering forces, ensuring sharper steering response and consistent handling.
