I really wouldnt mind putting a bigger front sway bar on my car, but since im plowing from understeer around town, im not really worrying about it..
BUT I am not rather liking the 350 or 500 I'd have to spend to get a good bar on my car. I currently have a stock bar up front, and 22mm T bars (ya, thats my kicker up front...) I was thinking that one of these coleman bars would work.. (IMG:http://www.colemanracing.com/catalog/images/pn658.jpg) They have the bar thickness from 3/4in to 1 1/2 in... Bar is 37.5 in long... Could it work? I know there will be fabrication involved (im cool with that.. only means more fun..) http://www.colemanracing.com/catalog/index...&sort=2a&page=1 Also, they have Just the bars at different lengths. But only at 1 1/4 thickness. Lengths from 32" to 43" and .125, .188, and .25 wall (whatever that means) Bars by themselves for 110 bucks. Any thoughts?? |

I definately need more front tire...
My tires are 225 45 17 kumho 711's. (eek gawds) on the front, and 255 40 17 kumho 711's on the back. At the autox it was like skating on ice.. I have hoosiers, victoracers, and can get goodyear slicks... So tires are not a problem.. Its adjustability. I have not messed with tire pressures much, but I have increased the rear and lowered the front at the autox to attempt to get more stick. Im assuming when you say stock lever arms that you mean stock 914 lever arms. I was thinking of using (IMG:http://www.colemanracing.com/catalog/images/pn658.jpg) one of those sway arms. cut to length with holes drilled. Maybe one of these (IMG:http://www.colemanracing.com/catalog/images/pn653.jpg) modified wider to fit on a slimmed down arm.
