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. |

I might move up to a bigger adjustable front bar, but a rear bar is good. Remember - loose is fast. One caveat: Don't ever get nervous and lift in a corner! |
