Konis are on sale at Steeda right now, probably a few other places too. I got a great deal at Carid.
What are you guys running on your front sway bar for road course versus autocross?
I find the car is more affected by bumps mid corner than anything else, anything I can do to help location of the rear has assisted with that. I do not find the car loose after effectively stiffening the rear bar. I would think that stiffening the rear bar would induce more push up front, if anything but, I don't sense that either... it seems to have reduced in-corner weight transfer on power input and that's keeping the inside front planted a bit harder. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about since it's all butt-dyno road driving and I'm not a corner-carving champ. Let me know if I am out of it.
If anything, even with BBP, the spring rates are a little soft out back, it feels, and the bar keeps the body roll and squatting on powering out of a turn down a bit.
Brembo Brake Package = BBP I assume.
I figured you had the FSB on full stiff. That's usually what these cars need, more front and less rear stiffness for stability at speed. However, there's absolutely nothing wrong with running the rear full stiff for autocross to keep the car loose.
If your car isn't purpose built, adjustable sway bars are some of the best tuning tools to adjust your car for the task at hand. It's essentially the same thing as changing your spring rate.
What springs, shocks, sways, and tire setup are you running?
The car does not need more rear sway bar. Less if anything.
Steeda sports, bilsteins(the shorter ones), whiteline sways, and 285 nitto at all 4 corners. Plan on moving to 295 rivals or 285 rs3's later this year after my wedding and after I get a second set of wheels.
That's an excellent setup. Are you running a Watt's also? What's your toe in and camber?
I was going to say you can run 1/16 total toe out for autocross to increase turn in. It does make the car a little darty on the highway though. I'm interested to know what you think about the watt's versus a properly setup PHB for autocross. Post back here if you get one, please. I know it will help a lot on the road course.
This is a pretty common meme with Mustangs. In reality less bar is great for putting power down on corner exits (depending on the corner) and more bar is great for turn in.
But can't have both unfortunately. So it depends on many things what degree of bar is good for a Mustang, including the track itself, and driving style.
From what my friends tell me it helps in transition. The axle will move side to side with the phb through a slalom. I've seen the go pro video to prove it. Lol
BBP?
And yes. That's the panhard bar at work. The axle wiggles over bumps mid corner. A watts link will help with that.
