92 1G AWD, 17x8 wheels with Nitto 235/45/17 tires, FEAL Coilovers, rear upper control arms from 3SX Performance, car is for street, hillclimb and occasional auto-x, so trying for a really good handling setup that takes corners nicely..
I am currently running an ST Sway Bar in the rear and I also have one for the front(not mounted yet) but after doing some reading I am seeing that having both is not recommended and can actually have adverse affects(e.g more understeer) than just having the rear in an AWD setup..(e.g rear sway bars work well with the stock front bar, it gets your AWD car turning closer to neutral, adding both produces understeer again)
Is anybody out there running a front and rear sway bar on a 1G DSM that can refute this or is it true what I am reading, is there anyway to use both and offset the understeer a different way? I have the FEAL adjustable coilovers, can I make the front softer than the rear or would I need to change the spring rates themselves?(ex: 7k/7k are the spring rates now, but FEAL would modify if needed)
All opinions and advise appreciated..
Thanks!!
