Sway bar question, stock suspension...

i believe having on just a stiff front sway bar will give you understeer. i drove with just the front on before I put my rear in. you definitely need to balance it out.

I haven't taken to many turns yet so I can't comment on understeer but what I have noticed is the car still oversteers with easy except now when it does the tires don't squeal to high heaven. They peel out like I'm on snow. I'm guessing that's more traction which is a good thing.

that's wat i thought too, but i learned early on in my G that the improved posture will help turn-in and overall stability through the turn. but then there is a threshold.

once you pass that threshold its like riding the bumpstops and understeer is very evident. lol

i run only front aftermarket swaybar on my Z. rear is stock.

what size for the front? i'm at 35mm. it felt a little funny with just the front bar on, but i didn't drive for more than a few miles to really get a grasp of it.

mine's a small 27mm on soft setting. (36% stiffer than stock)

that's all the stock suspension needs, imo. my front wheel is 19x9 ET33.
