Today I finished the installation of my 22mm swaybar. Compared to having no swaybard it was a difference of night and day. The wheels don't judder around uncontrollably on roads or the freeway. The front end is stabalized and balanced and incredibly hard to deflect. All in all the total for extra parts and the swaybar(s), this was a $210 job. Pretty good deal and now I should shave 3 or 4 seconds off my track times. There is a bit of oversteer with a bar this big, but that should go away with my stock rear bar.
My car is now fun, all over again. It is 100% Mo-Betta™ certifiable. I have to re-learn how to drive the car and re-learn the limitations of my abilities in a car that handles better. This should be awesome (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) And most importantly, I want to give a couple of big thank-yous to scott kline, Aaron and Thomas. Without you guys it never would have happened.

it's all about balance...you cannot stiffen one end without doing the same to the other (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) i will say it's always safer to make the front end stiffer than the just rear....you never want to run just a rear bar and no front bar or heavy rear springs without a front bar or upgraded front torsion bars....you want the front stiffer one way or another at least even with the rear... |
