I'd say that's about right, in my experience, though obviously anti-roll bars are only one part of the overall picture: the transition from straight line suspension-attitude to the point where its fu
Actually, you have it exactly backwards; Stiffen the REAR sway bar to reduce under steer, stiffen the front bar to reduce oversteer. It is exactly the opposite of what intuition would tell you. Car m
That's what he originally said, wasn't it ? Or is the Christmas spirit getting to me ? :-) IMHO rather than neutral handling I'd always aim for slight understeer, with slight power-on/off oversteer;
Think of it this way; When you understeer, it is because the front tires are being asked to do more work than they can handle, so they give up and slide. The way to correct this is to get the rear ti
Goodparts makes a great matched set of anti-roll bars. The rear bar is adjustable. I believe the cost is $250 or so per bar, so $500 for the set. A bit pricey maybe, but they look great, very high qu

Good thread. I see where Bob Laing has ADDCO front & rear sway bars. I presume these are the off the shelf and non adjustable model. I've been cautioned by several vendors that simply adding the rear

Bruce, my small understanding of the addition of an aftermarket rear bar while leaving the front stock, is that the rear bar will be much stiffer and could change the car from moderate understeer to
I have Addco's on the street car. They are not adjustable. I have GoodParts front and rear on the race car. They are very nice. In the dry I run them rear pretty close to as stiff as possible. I alwa
Be careful here. A car that understeers has reached the limit of available work from the front tires. It is not possible to get more work from the outside front tire. It has delivered all it is capa
--Original Message-- To the list Great responses!...I'm glad to have once again raised a question that many were interested in! In stock form, (alignment specs), the Tr-6 "does" tend to understeer...
Neutral steering from what I understand is the point between oversteering and understeering. It is never an objective of any racer to have any of his four tires sliding in the turn, or at least the
I would hazzard a guess that if - understeer means your nose goes through the fence first and oversteer means you tail goes through the fence first - then neutral steering would mean you door (the cl
