RWDboy Forums Junkie Location: South Australia Registered: July 2002	Re: RA28 <-- swaybar setups Sun, 27 April 2003 09:34 Given that you've lowered the front suspension you'd probably find cornering alot sharper with a front sway bar due to less bottoming out on the suspension rubbers, however you will still get *alot* of understeer. Front sway bars tend to even out the pressure difference that body roll gives...meaning that your front inside tyre get's a bit more grip, and the outside tyre does a little less of the work. The outside tyre already has to travel extra distance over the inside tyre, and making it do even more work than required tends to create an understeer effect, or simply make it slip. The inside tyre doesn't work too well when there is no pressure on it which is what a sway bar helps with. Get a rear sway bar if you find that you are either getting too much inside rear-wheel spin (tends to happen more with a ordinary slipping differential) when cornering hard/powering on out of a corner - or if you are getting alot of understeer from the rear end pushing the front end (this may still happen with high slip angles - ie going sideways - you just might not notice that your tyres are sliding along the road in an understeer fashion)...given that you have a fairly chunky front sway bar, I think you'd probably be best trying something mild/soft on the rear, although I'm not really the one to hand out figures. Lots of people tend to go over-firm with suspension, and over-low as well, just because a ride feels taut doesn't mean that it's going fast, the best thing is to get good feel when cornering hard, and good feedback through the seat of your pants, not bone jarring feel, and not to feel like your car seems to hit a "limit" of it's cornering ability very early in the corner.
