Question on sway bar set up

[QUOTE=Xan;393441]Good point on the added weight, that would be extra noticeable with the weight transfer during heavy breaking.
And I agree that therefore the front sway would be more stiff then the rear to prevent oversteer.

But as the stock set up is set up for understeer, the stock set up would already have a stiffer front sway compared to the rear.

And if I look at the offerings for sway bars they say ~200% stiffer in front and ~100% stiffer in rear (average).
So in my mind that shifts the balance to even more understeer.

If that's the way you're calculating it then try to mix and match some sets..get a Stillen front which would be a little more tame and a Hotchkis rear. Let me know how that goes too hehe.
