[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10224972, member: 11681"] Have you already installed it? If not I would see if you can return it for a stiffer rear bar. But even then I would wait to install it until after your first event. The seat time is money spent far better, and with a vert there is the roll bar issue looming, that must be addressed. After that there is the rear passenger safety issue, of course if there are other vehicles to drive it may be a non-issue. Everyone I know who has run a larger aftermarket front sway bar has taken them back off and returned to stock, because of too much understeer, even with an aftermarket adjustable rear bar on full stiff. Perhaps I don't know enough people running SN95 IRS cars.:shrug::dw: Both cars were on full coil overs with over 450ppi front springs and 5 or 600 ppi rear.(this is a fairly high wheel rate) It is my understanding that the stock front bar is about as stiff as you would want to go. If the car is significantly lightened I could envision it being possibly too stiff unless a stiffer rear bar is also used. I know nearly all of you guys already know this stuff, but whatever end of the car gets increased stiffness, that end will lose grip.(as a general rule) stiffer front bar and springs = more understeer stiffen the rear only and you can reduce understeer. Please don't flame me this is for the newbs. [/QUOTE]
