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?? |

Listen if the car is pushing in your current setup with the stock front swaybar, you will not gain anything with the bigger bar. You will need to run the torsional calculations for each bar (stock and custom) I would add the heavy springs first and drive it again to see how close the car is to balanced with the heavy torsion bars up front.
Yes the Konis will handle the spring rate increase. Reset your toe with the settings I recommended it will turn in much better. What is the condition of your tires? If they are shot you will never get a decent idea of what is going on. Let me get through with exams on Wed and I'll get you the info on that bar. |
