Wider track
#21
yeah, its getting pretty contradictory and confusing guys. So I'm just going to break it down for you all in simple terms. Lower, wider, stiffer , stickier rubber = better. All you need to strive for
#22
Doesn't an anti-roll bar simply increase the rate of weight transfer? If anything keeping the body from rolling to the outside of a corner should decrease actual weight transfer. Think about the center of gravity, which is normally above the roll center, shifting outward as the body rolls.
The anti-roll bar increases weight transfer at the axle its on while reducing it at the opposite. Same as increasing spring rate at one axle.

Totally agree! Best part of R&C forum is that we can have detailed technical analysis!

However, when you increase the track width here through higher offset wheels which is the basis for this discussion, you are effectively lengthening the leverage arm of that single wheel, and therefore decreasing the effective spring rate, which also effects load transfer. We can go around in circles all day on the subject, but we are still only talk about a chassis with 1" of of bump travel and 2" of droop. So a lot of the sum of all the parts explored is still minimal at the end of the day and many of them cancel one another out.

That said I generally agree that the bias shift is going to be small, but I think its important for people to realize it will be in the opposite way than they might expect. We just don't want people to spend a lot of money on an investment like wheels just to make a problem worse.
