Thread: No front sway bar?

I am currently not running a front sway bar on either of the race cars at this time. Have Progress in the rear and full stiff on the B13 SE-R and couldn't be happier. Point, Aim, Shoot and that is where the car goes.

I also tried running with front swaybar disconnected on my P11, oversteered for once! Traction was an issue, especially with turbo.

Bigger Wider Stickier tires will solve that problem.

In our experience, FWD with crappy LSD or no LSD and higher hp is always going to be a traction problem

No problems here, but that's cause we're practically running stock.

I appreciate all the responses here folks. I guess we'll just run the stock sway up front for the time being and try to stiffen up the rear as much as possible. Already working on getting a rear strut and sway bars. Anyone hear anything good about a Stillen rear sway for the B14? Suspension library doesn't even list it.

no idea on stillen but the whiteline rear sway bar we had worked well FWIW

6 Speed now, you can feel when the Helical LSD kicks in! The tires will church for a split second and bam traction. But to a point, when weather gets low enough I still have traction issues but that's FWD turbo for you. This is why I upgraded to AWD turbo for daily driving .

The stillen rear bar for the B14 is the largest one. Hard to find, not super rare but difficult enough to find.

Yes, stock (like our g20 at 134whp) you only notice the crappy factory LSD in specific turns at certain tracks and it isn't as much of a problem (at least in our experience anyway)

Our Turbo FWD Jetta GLI with 200hp and no LSD at all, well, you do notice how much it needs an LSD - HOWEVER, my AWD 258hp DD with no LSD, not really an issue not having any LSD from the factory

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep x a million.

Here is a video to explain how much yep.
