saner or cr?
 

I already searched and checked out the official sway bar thread. I'm still having a hard time deciding between the adjustable saner front sway bar or a cr. My car is pretty much stock ap2 and I only use it as a dd or for the occasiaonal mtn runs. I just want to tune out some body roll and add some understeer. I'm afraid the cr bar might be too soft and the saner bar too stiff for my stock setup. Anyone running a saner bar on a stock ap2 care to share their thoughts?

I think the whiteline is about half way between full soft on a saner you might wanna try that but make sure you get the collars to stop it moving from side to side

well i think the CR is just a ap1 bar.,,,,not sure if that helps any, but umm, yeah :thumbup:

I had the saner bar on full soft when I had 225/255 star specs on the car with stock suspension. Made a good difference in handling. Car had more low speed push in tight autox's but made the car more stable in higher speed sections

If you don't add more front tire, but add more front roll resistance, you will have more understeer, especially in the lower speeds, like slowd16 experienced. If you want less body roll, get stiffer front and rear springs, or stiffer front and rear roll bars. BUT, beware of unintended consequences of modification for the sake of a want or a feeling of need.

I want to reduce the body roll and add some understeer. I think I'm gonna go w the cr front sway and see how that goes.

you might find an 00-01 bar cheaper its reported to be about the same stiffness as a CR bar maybe stiffer

it sharpens up the car a bit but I don't think it will be enough to change the balance

the saner on soft should definitely dial in understeer but it might be too much,
I think it is 100% stiffer than stock 00-01 bar on soft and 250% on stiff, whiteline is about 50% stiffer

the info is on s2ki somewhere if you can find it

Ive had the front comptech 32mm and it's just not enough. I initially thought it would be good enough since I only dd, but because the saner is adjustable I can tailer the bar to my specific needs at different times.

It's worth the extra money.

Ps. Go with an ap1 bar. It's nearly the same size as the CR one at amfraction of the cost.

note that the 00/01 bar is stiffer than the 02/03 ap1 bar
