Stiff Front Sway Bar Thoughts

AH370Z

I fitted a front whiteline sway bar with 2 settings, swift springs oem shocks oem 19" tyre sizes and Michelin Piot 4S tyres.

I asked whiteline how much stiffer over oem and soft is approx 30% and hard is 65% I tried the hard setting and the car just wanted to understeer too much. Simple test was perform quick U turn, hit the gas trying to spin the car around and it just understeered.

I simply cannot understand how some run the much stiffer bars up front 100-130% stiffer whatever it is. Just tells me majority simply do not drive the cars hard enough (which is fine) so all they are feeling is the stiffer setup and less roll, but if actually drove the car agressivly they would end up pushing.

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.
