Jardiniboy · 09-04-2007, 05:08 AM

Try it out. You'll feel it when you experience it.

Firestrife · 09-04-2007, 05:12 AM

you'll feel a lot more body roll.

I gotta ask... Why???

Probably to lessen understeer. But I would just add a thicker rear sway bar if you haven't already.

Maybe add some toe out on the front with some caster and you'll be set.

It would increase oversteer a lot. It would be good for auto x event, but might be too scary on the streets. Corner exit speeds would be higher due to the increase in front end grip (more roll couple disterbution has moved foward). If you do do it, make sure in increase front negitive camber with some camber bolts, otherwise, you won't be able to take advantage of the increase in front end grip because the increase in body roll will cause the tires to roll over on the outside edge decreasin grip.

Then read all the light blue threads at the top of this section and read this thread start to finish. That will learn you a lot about handling.

oh dont worry i read all the stickys........very good information i might add

i just asked that question because i dont think any one makes a smaller sway bar for the front and i cant find the reason why no one does

SiRyan · 09-05-2007, 12:05 AM
