Rear sway only setting question

7speed · 05-24-2014, 08:48 AM

I'm putting on eibach rear sway only and running stock front. Would middle setting still be best or softest setting?

Why would you do this? My guess is that any setting is going to make the car handle awkwardly

If you leave the front the same and stiffen the rear, the car's balance will move toward oversteer. It comes with lawyer-induced understeer, so you will probably get to neutral somewhere in the rear sway bar settings, but I don't know where.

I would start with the softest setting.

I went ahead and put in the middle.

Less under steer is what I'm looing for but mostly because I bought it used (person wasn't able to get front off before traded in).

I may get front eventually. Street car but I'll test it out to see if necessary to really get front for my driving.

Feels goods, car isn't all of a sudden an oversteering monster. Behaves same maybe a little flatter hard to tell. But everything is more firm. Back is defiantly stiffer, don't think I will be putting the nismo springs on anymore.
