Swap Bars: Double vs. IPD

[Canadan]

Bigger front more understeer bigger rear more oversteer...dumb a drift kid did dual sways in the front. At least "match" it with dual rears

I TIHNK there is a singel large rear bar. I have been working on getting the LH +T chit done. I already know the car will go aroung in circles really nice. PO also said he spaced the inner tie rods out to get more turinng angle..... YEAH. Im sure ill have a good story once i get under the car....

Also keep in mind that swaybars are a fine tuning 'band aid' of sorts. Ideally, with properly rated springs and matched valving dampners for the application in question, we wouldn't need swaybars, or at least a very small one to get that last ~3-4% out of the suspension.

. In dedicated motorsports applications, chances are smaller bars are being fitted while custom rate springs and matched dampners are taking the main stage.

Yep, one day, some day the boys will realise that good dampers are the key to happiness and that even "pretty damn stiff" springs aren't bad---if the damper controls them.. And compression damping is part of controlling how the car reacts...

I've always believed that sway bars are there so OEMs can fit lame soft junk springs and dampers and yet have something o mitigate against the car wanting to fall over..to feel somewhat "flatter" in the corner.

But the real work is done in the spring and especially the damper..
and that's why its absurd just pitching at a car some shock or strut just because it might fit....its what's inside that counts..
