Are there any advantages of installing sway bars on a street car?
Does it improve handling? |

Stupid hijack... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) ... but what about for a stock 1.7 track day car? If there's barely enough power as-is, would I need to worry about installing a rear sway bar at a DE? I doubt that even if the inside rear wheel lifted I would have to worry about it spinning.
Edit: Already has a stock front bar and adjustable red Konis in the rear. |

Stupid hijack... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) ... but what about for a stock 1.7 track day car? If there's barely enough power as-is, would I need to worry about installing a rear sway bar at a DE? I doubt that even if the inside rear wheel lifted I would have to worry about it spinning. I would run a rear bar. My car handles great. It has a clapped-out 1.8L with over 300K miles (that's no joke either) so it's a slug. However, with good shocks, tires a good alignment, F&R sways and smooth driving, I can keep up with most guys through the twisties (that is unless I'm following Kelty360 and Greenie through off-camber stuff, but that's another hi-jack story (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) ). These are true momentum cars if there ever was such a thing and since you have a big lack of power, you need to improve everywhere else. I cannot tell you how much the handling improved by adding F&R sways and Koni yellows!! Worth every dime!! |
