I need to learn a bit of how to setup my car better.
Its got new Bilstein shocks all around, new bushings everywhere. Front has the stock torsion bars and a Tarret adjustable swaybar. Rear has 140lbs Weltmeister springs. Last year I ran it with no rear swaybar and the front swaybar set at about 25% from the outer most position. This got the car quite tailhappy when doing autocross/slalom events. During the Winter I added the stock rear swaybar just to see what difference it made and it calmed the tailhappyness down a bit but still a bit twitchy. Whats the next step? Decreaseing the front swaybar setting? Last year in the wet.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrh878om6pI This years first event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eer4JyMl_PI |

Adding more roll stiffness in the rear should have made it MORE tail happy, not less. Generally you need to soften the end that is loose or tighten the end that is planted in order to get the car balanced.
Have you checked your alignment? It can have a significant impact on handling as well. |
