Spot on. If you do the same test you mentioned with a stiff rear sway, your *** will be overtaking you immediately. |

The stiff front sway bar was tested by Doren Racing. When they ran a 370RC in the Pirelli Cup. Their race driver was a member on here. Dwnshift, pro driver. And others have proven that it works. I, for one. I'm a Class C driver.

Maybe so for a track setup on R compounds and square setup tyres. Front stiff bar on street setup is not ideal.

This is probably the best explanation of sway bar impact on a normal car:

I always love when this topic comes up from an entertainment standpoint although this time, I'll just sit back and not feed the trolls.

Good for you for testing the sway bars for yourself and not assuming everything you see on these forums is correct. Most car info online is incorrect nowadays… although the tips and tricks from OG members on here is usually safe to trust! I’m in the process of figuring out my sway bar setup for myself. Hotchis rear bar felt too stiff, running a few autox events without it. Will probably go back to OEM rear bar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With my setup I was running Swift springs in front which naturally brought the front camber to -1.5. It still understeered untill I went from stiffest to softest on the whiteline bar |

Front Bar Stiffness (Over Stock) Hole 1: 114% Increase Hole 2: 165% Increase Unsure how it compares to Hotchkis since they do stiffness vs various G's sways, and even though they are both hollow with 35mm OD's, hole placement is a big difference.
