My car came with stock front and rear sway bars. I tried the rear bar with several configurations and it always yielded some nasty over steer. I think the rule of thumb, if you stiffen up the rear you need to stiffen up the front for balance.
I currently have 175 lb rear springs with adjustable perches. Front 22mm adjustable Weltmeister sway bar on mid stiffness. I had the car corner balanced and aligned. Bilstein shocks all around. It's a budget setup which works well. I sold my old sway bars and 100 lb Weltmieister springs and made almost enough to pay for the new setup. I use to spin often at AXs with my old setup when I pushed it to hard. With the current setup, I have not spun out yet, got to learn to drive faster. |
