swaybar settings?

normansti · 04-07-2008, 05:36 AM

Ok I have a few braces, coilovers, and f/r cobb sways. My car is pushing a little on corner exit. Should I make the rear sway tighter or softer to minimize understeer? Again the understeer is minimal.

Firm up rear sway (shorten arm length) = less understeer / more oversteer

Also, small things like looking further ahead sooner will help that also......its a small thing, but it works.

What if I replaced the cobb front sway and put the stock sway back on? Would this help or would it hurt my handling more then help it?

Before you change bars and all that, what is your alignment set to?

true story. The tight turn around at this weekends autox was givin me a lot of problems until I started lifting my head up and looking further ahead. It didnt take all on the push but it helped quite a bit
