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

The ST bars are not adjustable on the B13.

They are adjustable in the rear only on the B14 (just learned that).

I'm still trying to figure out why Strattons car is tail-happy and over-steering.


A B13 *should* be understeering with the stock sway bars...(considered "safe" for your average driver on the street)..which is why lots of folks (including myself) have only upgraded the rear sway bar. Which gets rid of the understeer. On the middle setting with the Progress rear sway bar, and the stock OEM front sway bar, my car is very neutral.

Dunno...that is why I am no Suspension Guru. Just a student.

Stratton any updates?

Why don't you want the back end to rotate around at corner entry? With a point and shoot turbo car, that's what I would want....

Dude, on a street car you will never know the difference.

I beg to differ? :o

run the rear only and replace the stock bushings(end links and mounting) on the front. I had the st kit on another car and found that the car had too much under steer and took the front one off. I put the stock on back on and replaced the bushings on it. I set all my cars up to remove as much under steer as possible. Very bad things happen with turbo cars and under steer.

what exact bad things are you refering too ?




no updates, the car is currently down, when shes back up shell have the sway bar and ill post my results.

could be my driving style or lack there off. i am by no means a 'driver' never been on a track or x cross in my life. watched plenty but never participated.
