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?? |

Dude,
Have it your way, we're just trying to help..... There are many things incorrect or mixed up about your statements. First off, how do you know your setup's way off? What makes you think you need it stiffer in the front and rear to get better times? Softer setups make more mechanical grip, but they may not transition as well. Your car requires more throttle to stick? Which end, mid-corner, exit or entry? I don't understand this statement, to be honest. "I need a custom bar up front so that if with 250 lb springs on the back(which I think I want to try 225's right now), and a stock rear sway bar, I for some reason need less spring rate up front, I can back it down with a simple adjustment. My bar that I want to make will have less spring rate than stock to close to 22mm bar." The stabilizer bar has nothing to do with spring rate. You cannot make a simple adjustment to reduce spring rate, unless you swap torsion bars. BTW, my "custom" stabilizer bar has nearly the same rate as the stock bar at the setting I've settled on for most tracks. |
