Thread: Suspension technique front and rear sway bars question !!!

i understand what your saying about braking before i turn the wheel, this will prevent major weight transfer durning the turn, inturn keeping the rear planted.

thank you very much for your advice.

you have a pm.

i have never autox but i would say wider tires in the back would help alot and brake slightly before tern so you can stab it in the apex

I had 205 all around on my NX and it would rub on the strut if you use 15mm or 20mm it would cure it.

realy i dont know of meny good wide rims that would fit our cars but if u could find one with a good offset or wheel spacers the wider the tire the more grip but the right combo of grip and loose is hard to find

I would just run both front & rear setup.

^ reason being ?

Put the rear sway bar on and drive it around, get the feel of it. Then add the front one, and drive it around, see if you like it better with both on. Then if you want to be thorough, take off the rear one and only drive with the front one. Then you'll have experience with only the front, with only the rear, and with both. Then you can make your final decision as to which set up you liked best.

do both: large in rear, smaller in front

Absolutely.

Reason?

You said you have too much oversteer right now. You'd like less of that? And you want to do it with anti-sway bars? Then you want to go stiffer in the front and less stiff in the back, or any combination of the two.

I'm assuming the ST bars are stiffer than what you have now (stock)? If so, you will want to put the front one on at least. This should solve your oversteer problem, but might get you way more understeer than you'd like. Then you should install the rear bar to balance things out and cross your fingers that it's not stiff enough to throw the balance the other way back to oversteer. Is the ST bar in the rear adjustable? I think I remember it being 2-way or maybe 3-way adjustable? That will help you dial it in.

I believe BROOKLYN NX misspoke in his 3rd post about the rear bar being what you wanted. He had the right idea in his first post so I can only assume he got mixed up in his 3rd post.

the ST bars are not adj (Front or Rear) at all unless they changed it recently.
