I'm looking for some advice. The engine is almost back in the car, and I then need to finish the chassis upgrades.
I have a ST front sway bar to install and my friend seems to think that if I remove the sway bar altogether and NOT install the ST bar, that will significantly remove any understeer. Doesn't make much sense to me to completely remove it; the new REAR sway bar is installed and set to stiff. But I can't see this car having so much HP that understeer would be affected at all... Squash this inner turmoil for me. ... and GO! -------------------- |

Our cars hardly understeer at all... even when mine was stock it would barely understeer. You also need to know how to corner properly; like when to brake, when to coast, when to get on the gas, and also you need to have a nice line through a corner. Obviously, if you cut the wheel sharp and stomp on the gas, you'll get a bunch of understeer lmao
With my setup; front 3pt strut bar rear 2pt strut bar interior harness bar coilovers all around about -1.7 to -1.9 camber in the front about -3 to -3.5 of camber in the rear (didn't plan for that to happen, just did when I installed my coilovers) bridgestone potenza re-760 sport tires I don't get any understeer at all. No oversteer either, but I can make the rear end kick a little bit lol And to answer your question, if you install the front ST sway bar, it will help with the understeer. But like you said, NOTRACECAR, so you shouldn't even be worried haha |
