Can anyone give me a good account of what would happen if I removed the rear sway bar in an AutoX setting? I'm currently running stock F&R sways, stock torsion bars, bilsteins all around and I believe 180# springs.
I know the best way to find out is to try it, but I get out to so few AutoXs, I don't want to waste one of my outings with a setting that ruins the day. Looking for your experiences with and without Thanks! |

I never ran one.
As Chris says lifting the inside rear is a problem with one....I have driven 914s with the rear bar and can verify that. When I popped for an LSD, which many folks believe makes a rear bar workable, I went for a torque biasing type .....that will also spin the inside rear if that tire comes off the ground totaly.......which would seem counter productive , eh? The problem is that the clutch type LSDs suck at AX......unless you like lotso understeer. The simple solution with a TB diff is to have stiff enough springs in back to keep the inside rear planted.....even when you add a hundred + HP or so to your ride. There are a set of un-intended consequences of setting up any car for AX nilly-willy and the 914 is no exception. You wanna go fast, you gotta learn the rules. A gud plan is to save your self some money and not try it in a knowledge vaccume. |
