Front sway bar question

Post by Eric Goodwin » Wed May 12, 2010 1:03 am

So i just installed an srt acr 19mm rear swaybar and I love it. My question is about the front swaybar which is the stock 20mm. I am thinking about putting in a pt gt 26mm front bar but just wanted some input on how this will effect under/oversteer and overall handling.

Thanks

If that were the only modification done to the car then it would cause the car to Plow, or understeer. The benefit is that you will reduce the amount of roll you would experience in the car. This equates to better handling and I think you still end up with less understeer than what you had with the stock setup.

There are other things that can help reduce understeer or eliminate understeer, but my comments are just based on the sway bars.

Simply put, understeer is reduced overall and handling is increased.
