Rear sway bar, $2-$300 for a whiteline bar. Best invention ever for making a front drive car turn in on a dime.

if you get the whiteline 18mm sway one.. dont use the 'stiff'st' setting...

[AceSniper]

sway bar set at 20mm, kills understeer mint

[pc]

I use my adjustable whiteline on the stiffest setting and the car feels fine.
I think it's a 20mm one IIRC.

[AceSniper]

18mm one at stiff is =22mm, will make the car over steer if racing/cornering hard

[bluemaumau]

wicked so they can actually produce oversteer!

must be a good modification then.

so they come in different sizes? 18, 20mm?

Yes, you can get an oversteering front drive car with a whiteline rear bar.

Get the three position adjustable one (don't know what mm that is sorry), made my AE92 handle like a dream on the track. Can get a little exciting on the road but not too scary, just so long as you're always ready to get your foot hard on the gas.

Yea rear sway bar is what ive heard on a fwd, never got around to doing it.

One of my mates just cut off the mounts on the strut and welded them on the other side of the strut to stiffen the effect of the bar, he said it works really well.

Another thing is strapping two sway bars together.

Obviously the best is whiteline adjustable.

Best get some good shocks too, else after a few laps it'll go spungy like a boat and weight transfer is tricky and easy to loose

After I got the whiteline rear bar on my old AE92, I won the "wannabe drifter award" at my club's dual car sprint day.

what adjustables are you gonna use will??

[AceSniper]

the whteline bar I have is 18mm adjustable upto 22mm pends on your driving style but I think 20mm would keep you right on the track, 22mm will let you over steer off roundabouts
