ok....there is this super long S curve.....on campus. before i installed a rear sway bar my car ate up the inside line......today, while trying to win over my datusn Z buddy.... i came in way hot (70 in a 35 LOL) .... and kept on the throttle....started oversteering..... ass end was steppin out a few feet bordering the edge of the road...... let off the gas slowly and it went back in line....... he thought it was planned... i thought i eas going into the ditch....

Settings currently
19mm T bars
22mm (effective) tarett swaybar set at HALF stiff

140lb springs
Rear stock sway.....


I have some 180 pounders to throw on this weekend......but wouldnt that make it worse?

Sounds like some Drivers Training is needed.

Dont worry, at least you were able to correct it before it got out of control.

tighten the front bar a bit
yes, the 180# rear springs will make the car more tail-happy

Your suspension is nearly the same as mine. What kind of tire pressure are you running? What kind of tires for that matter.

Has anyone told you that racing on the street is bad for your health?? I'm sure there is a SCCA region near or PCA got out and flog your car on the track to find it's real limit.

Ok off my soap box. Did you beat him?

You are a young guy, be careful.
You need to tighten the front if the rear is unstable, and tighten the rear (kinda hard if you are from Corona, I've heard) if the front is pushing. I would remove the rear bar personally...

i like the rear bar.... it adds another element of tuneability... SUPER predictable at AX speeds..... just the first time i went to the limit at track speeds.....

looks like im gonna have to increase front bar more.... and even more when i add the 180's.....

i need to bump up front torsion bars too....but them be expensive....

basically....

need to drive in big circles and find out which end wants to be a problem....oversteer....understeer....

You need to sell me those 180's and tighten that front bar up all the way....

Go between full tight front bar on track, and medium on auto x...

Thats what I would do!!!
