Thread: Sway bar question

    Pretty sure that whatever end you add a bigger bar to, will cause more grip for the opposite end of the car. If you add a bigger front bar, more understeer, bigger rear bar, more oversteer.

    Speaking of sway bars - this isn't covered in the setup page. New Racing Beat bar arrived today, going to stick it on tonight - but I've been thinking. Should I increase the shock setting by a click - as the stiffer swaybar effectively increases spring rate?

    I doubt it will increase the spring rate enough to want to adjust the shocks, unless you got a really bit bar or put an adjustible bar on full stiff. Guess you'll find out when ya go for a spin.
