Sway Bars, Track and AutoX?

Boss_302

Just my 2 cents,
If you track the car sways bars should be adjustable, bottom line.
The sway bar is a fine tuning device, everyone's car is set up differently in the respect that not everyone runs the same springs rates, shocks, ride height, alignment and weight jack. Tire compound, and even track temp has a play in all this too. Not to mention driver preference And or A$$ feel when driving

In answering Clintfocus's question I believe he went with a special sway bar up front. It was possibly a Whiteline but he had spec'd out a different one that was the thickest and stiffest one possible.

It was pretty much an identical install as the one seen in Motoiq but with a few more tweaks.

At the end of the day, it works for me. I try and surround myself with good installers and people that know there stuff. I am happy with my setup and its what I could afford.

Its like evrything off the internet . Do your research and try and make a good honest decision. Just because you read it doesnt mean its the truth. Call people up, talk to them, get a good feel for them.

Ive tracked the car about 6 times since the install. I couldn't be anymore happy with the setup.

BTW the Motoiq 370 is my car
but my sway bar setup has since changed since the articles suspension install, like i said earlier in the thread im on the Hotchkis front bar, and a G37S coupe OE rear bar which is 2mm's thicker then the OE 370 bar but same wall thickness, so really just a touch stiffer then stock. Also im on the off the shelf KW V3 spring rates and valving. this setup thus far compliments the square 285/10.5 sizes and the V3s spring rates well

Would the Hotchkiss rear on full soft be comparable to OE G bar Clint or way different? Reason I ask is because don't you have to buy the front and rear Hotchkiss at the same time?

yeah the bars can only be bought in a bar, but i tried the Hotchkis rear bar even on full soft and it was still WAY too stiff, i got lucky that a friend of mine who does nothing but DD his G37S coupe to work let me swap the hotchkis for his OE rear bar cause he will never even notice the difference. I feel anything short of a custom race bar the Hotchkis front fits the 370 best with a square wheel/tire setup. I tried the stock 370 rear bar with the hotchkis front as well, and the rear was just a bit too sloppy in transition, hence the mild bump up with the G37 bar. Ideally though, when i get around to doing a damper revalve, ill pick spring rates to be able to run no rear bar like Matcop

In reference to Clintfocus, the motoiq car i was referencing was the blue Robispec (pizzaman) car with the orange rims. I am aware that your car is used for motoiq , i just didn't want you to think that I was referencing yours.

It was coming off on all fours but it was hard to capture that with the camera, and that was the best picture out of the bunch

99.999% agree with Clintfocus, and whoever doesn't believe all his testing u should ROFL

From the advice that I have given in this section, I am running a whiteline set to full stiff up front but still have the stock rear. I am running 275 front and 295 rear and run in ASP for SCCCA. I am still getting the feel for it on autox but on the track I love it. Drove a friends stock sport for a few laps on Sunday and it was a night a day difference compared to my car. I still push a bit during Autox but I am staggered so I am not surprised. A little power and it clears it right up.

So what have we gathered from all this.... LOL. Basically Synolimit feels that i dont know ****, and is too good of a driver for his 370. Then Apollo8642 feels Synolimit doesnt know ****, and is the only one man enough to jump his 370.

GSS138

I'm guessing that Syno is secretly Bobby Rahal. We all just got trolled by the master.

LOL you forgot to add me, I don't know **** either (I dont want to feel left out), and all this just cause I just wanted to know what bars were working for people sheesh

Yup...I told you from the beginning there are lots of opinions. Listen to the guys in the know, like Clint and BJ. I'm just sayin....

There are a few people on here that I listen to their opinions. The track rats. They have spent the money and did the driving and have the experience trying to improve. Others have good ideas that can be used. Still others, I don't know........................they have good points now and then.
