My car has a push at high speed in tight corners. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) It wants to slide the front to the outside of the circle. I need to increase front grip. I was talking to a local car guy here and he told me I should has a big rear sway bar. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I tend to believe him. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) He used to work for the Archer Brothers in their race shop. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) But maybe his theory doesn't apply to middle motor cars. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
Who has experience with this? Show me your sway bars. Specially rear ones. Oh ya, what about tire pressure. I encourage long explainations. But talk to me like I'm a 4th grader. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) |

Here we go, 22mm Welt sway bar. Watch out for the duct tape, someone drilled a hole too low.
22mm Sway Bar 22mm Torsion Bars Welt street bushings New ball joints Turbo tie rods (cheapie, non castellated nut ones) Cleaned and regreased rack New Rotors, bearings & rebuilt calipers Koni Sport Shocks Rear, Koni Sport Shocks 150lb springs on threaded perches New Rotors, pads I am sure with this setup I will need 180-200lb springs. Old car if pushed would oversteer without the front sway bar and 150 lb springs. Attached image(s) |
