Sway bars or not?

[dkelly]

I have the sway bars but am still debating whether or not to put them on. What are the pros and cons?

Thanks,
DK.

Reduced body roll through the corners...

Of course you put them on!!! Put them on the setting thats toward the front of the car out of the four holes.

Your car will have so much better handling!!!

And slapping them on is suitable for all track conditions, shocks and oil weights? I doubt it. Will someone please give me a tad more info?

Thanks,

I would get them! They are very low priced and prevent body roll and improve handling!

After I put the anti sway bars on I noticed a big difference. In some cases you can actually SEE the difference they make in quick S turns. Put them on and you'll see that besides keeping the car from rolling side to side, they don't HURT the handling at all. The shocks still perform as expected.

The sway bars are a great tuning tool. By stiffing up the sway bar it will reduce body roll and keep the car flatter through the corners thus making it much faster through the corner. You can also use them to get the amount of traction you need for each track. For example if you run the sway bar stiffer in the front than in the rear you will end up with more rear traction and an easier car to drive. If you need more steering you can either stiffen up the rear or soften up the front.

So by moving the plastic housing towards the front of the car (in the front) i can increase stiffness in the front?

And by moving the housing towards the back of the car (in the back) I can increase stiffness in the back?

Please confirm.
