Sway Bars

[sleeper]

I know that upgrading to stiffer sway bars can help prevent body roll but I was wondering is there a problem w/ having the bars too stiff???

I founds some bars where it was 20% , 80% and 120% stiffer than stock
so what kinda problems would I have w/ the 120% over the 20%???

Thankx in advance =)

On a FWD/AWD car, you want a stiffer REAR bar. The stiffer the bar, the lesser the understeer (pushing)

But is there a problem w/ the rear being TOO stiff???

Yah, if the rear sway bar is tooo stiff, you'll have no play with your rear control arms and your ass'll get looser than a big booty chick shakin' it up at the club.

oic........

so what's a good size for someone who wants a daily driven and occassional track car???

Really no "good size"
A good size is, in 1g awd's, just a few mm larger in the rear, maybe 22mm. It all depends on what size your stocker is. Just cause it says 120% stiffer doesnt mean youll me shaking like some fatty in a club =)
I think my stck sway bar is roughly 19mm, so 22mm may only be like a 20% stiffer difference but for another car that has a dinky arse sway bar, 22mm may be 100% stiffer but still not be to stiff. Most FF and AWD's are setup for a bit of understeer from the factory, actually most acars all are, but each is its own you know what I mean....
