Whiteline REAR sway bar on 13 GT Vert?
Anyone here tried to install a Whiteline Rear sway bar on a 12 or 13 convertible?
The reason I ask is I would like to use matching sway bars from Whiteline on my 13 Vert and per the suppliers, they indicate the rear is not compatible with the Vert. In looking at photos of an installed Whiteline rear sway bar on a coupe and comparing that to my bracing and rear end set up , which is stock, it looks like it might work?
Would be really cool if someone has already done this and can steer me in the right direction>
Thanks

I would just like to have the rates match and the adjustability, plus I am becoming a fan of Whiteline based on my research.
I do agree with you that the OE bar is not that bad, but the little I have used it I can already see where the bushings are slipping sideways on the rear bar, so I am thinking of the upgrade.

Just got off the phone with Whiteline tech usa and while not overly helpful, they did advsie that the brace on the vert will rub the lowest part of the rear sway bar.
So no go unless I modify or remove the bracing.
Unfortunately, they could not advise an alternative that would match up to thier front sway bar.
The search continues...
