[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 6372848, member: 11681"] The front sway bar gives the car it's close to neutral handling with just enough push or understeer to keep it safe on the streets in the hands of Joe Q. Public. There is a certain amount of this understeer that is designed in to keep the car from losing the tail first in a hard turn, "litigation understeer", nearly all cars come with some. If you are running a sticky drag radial and a normal tire up front then the car should still retain enough understeer to remain safe in most conditions. If the car feels loose in the rear or twitchy with the tire combo you are running I would also disconnect the rear sway bar. That should keep you from looping out and backing it into a guard rail or ditch. [SIZE="3"][B]Understeer[/B][/SIZE] = hit the wall with the front end (much easier to control and preferable to...) [SIZE="3"][B]Oversteer [/B][/SIZE]= hit the wall with the rear end (once it lets go you are gone) [/QUOTE]
