Phochem Neutral Newbie July 23, 2004 Share July 23, 2004 Go for sway bar (anti-roll bar) 1st then strut bar. They are different. Both for better handling Sway bar Sometimes called the "anti-sway bar," "stabilizer bar," or even "roll-bar." It is usually a round bar which connects the left wheel suspension assembly with the right side. It may be found at the front and/or rear. Its main function is to keep both wheels rolling at the same rate when meeting bumps; but it also affects handling. A front anti-roll bar increases understeer and a rear bar increases oversteer. Normally used only for fine-tuning the car. Not recommended for bumpy tracks. Use a thin bar at first to experiment, then try thicker bars. Strut bar A Strut Bar (also known as strut tower bar or strut brace) is designed to tie the two opposing strut towers together as a single solid unit. The purpose of a strut tower bar is to reduce flex that these towers experience during hard cornering. When taking a turn a car's strut towers normally flex, resulting in bodyflex and losing some traction. As Strut Tower Bars are designed to keep your strut towers from flexing, they distribute the pressure applied to one strut tower when taking a turn to both towers instead of just one.

Phochem Neutral Newbie July 23, 2004 Share July 23, 2004 (edited) hey bro, got this from the webby. abit techincal Improved Handling with Anti-Sway Bars by John Comeskey of SPS and James Walker of scR motorsports http://www.teamscr.com/sway.htm Hopefully, after reading the scR Tech Article on tires, the value of tire traction toward constructing a fun-to-drive performance-oriented Saturn has become clear. But there are areas of chassis dynamics that extend beyond the realm of tires. Once you increase the traction threshold at the road surface, then you may be ready to take the next step into improved vehicle handling Edited July 23, 2004 by Phochem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
