[Shotimes] Link to Sway bar info?

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

My 95 MTX had the 20.6/21 setup stock and it sucked.  So much weight was on
that outside tire it was screaming for life every time it was pushed.  I'm
am no advanced driver and do not road course or autox, but sure pushed it
hard in the old office park "road course" up in Indy were I worked at.  That
is not what I wanted for the car and it did not stay that was very long as
the first suspension mod was to add the 26mm RASB to the SHO.  Man that sure
seems like a long time ago!

Yep. And, the '92-'94 24/23 combos still do handle pretty decently.

Tires, the driver, and spring rates are still key. As is unibody rigidity.

I just realized that the worst combination of the bunch (as far as
understeer) is the setup that came on the '92 - '94 MTX cars.  Worse even
than all the ATX combos.

No wonder adding a 26mm rear bar and poly bushings livens these cars up so
much.
