Snells Springs

Amazed you need a bigger sway bar for the rear.
Sounds like you need to work on the fronts, possibly harder springs...
whats your setup now anyway?

I still run the standard bar on the rear, tried a whiteline one but got mega oversteer.

setup

Postby fxgt race » Sun Mar 22, 2009 10:26 pm

I run 500lb up front ,600lb back,3.4deg camber up front,2.5deg backs,set my car up with string lines with 4mm over the rim each side up front toe out.The car is handling good just want it to sit even flatter on corners.Just had it dynoed at 122kw atw,looking at a 1.45 at taupo and getting into the 1.09 around puke.current at 1.46.5 at taupo and 1.10.5 at puke.Don't want to go harder with springs as the car is down to 800kgs an is as stiff as.

I've got a whiteline adjustable on the hardest setting, it measures at about 18.3mm (must be the paint).
Car is neutral most of the time, more negative camber in the rear seemed to help after I changed to hard suspension.

Edit: just saw your post, your camber settings are about the same as mine, although I run with no toe.
8kg front, 6kg back, and car is around 890kg.

no toe at rest? you'll be getting a reasonable amount of toe in then

you could try altering the mounts of your current bar to make it stiffer, move them in a bit. doesnt take much to make it quite a bit stiffer
