I don't have a rear sway bar and my car seems to handle pretty well w/ out one. What are your experiences with & w/out? If you are running one, what size are you using and what brand (or stock)?

A rear sway bar will allow you to run softer springs on the rear, Given your trani has LSD this would be fine.
Softer springs on the rear would let it squat and get better launches... Since the sway bar would move with the suspension, it wont affect the squatting ability, but would reduce body lean, affectivly stiffening up the rear end... For cars with LSD.. a rear sway bar is good. I was going to run one on my car. but then I got stiff springs, (now it spins the tires instead of gripping) and handles amazingly.. I will allow for one in the future, but currently. none is going on. I would use a modified stock one. with adjustable stiffness and rod ends. Just need a welder for that... Andrew |
