So setup currently is KW Competition, which will most likely be switched with one of the tripple adjustable shocks.

Spring rates are in the 900lb range

Swaybars are stock 01 front and no rear.

The car is fairly loose. It's driveable, but I'm running several PSI stagger, and I'm running into the limitations of what I can do with what I have available for balance.

My options are:

Spring change to get balance right, or bigger front swaybar. I'm thinking an adjustable swaybar as it will give me some balance options when things change.

Thoughs?
Who's swaybar has the most adjustment? Noise etc, is not an issue.

Gendron
Saner
Comptech
???

 

Hey Bill,
Nice to meet you out at TH. I'm running the Saner, but on the least-stiffest setting I'm getting lots of understeer with no rear bar. You're running 275s all around, though, so the Saner front should work out well. Mine stopped making noise a while back, too.

I want the Comptech (for more adjustability, lighter weight and better hardware), but can't seem to find one used (I ain't payin' $1000 for a front swaybar).

 

Comptech or Gendron is your best bet with my pick being the Comptech.

 

I use the medium-thick Gendron bar on a medium setting, and the car is quite balanced, both in autocross and on the track. I have stock shocks, though . On the track, I use RA-1's, 235 front and 255 rear; for autocross, I use V710's, 245 front and 275 rear.

 

Try 305s at the rear.

Comptech adjustable is probably ideal for you, though they're $$$. I actually have a Comptech non-adjustable front bar for sale, but it's only about 50% stiffer than stock, so with your setup you might not even notice the change! Cheap though...

 

I saw that, and almost pulled the trigger, but I want something adjustable.

Wierd thing was the car pushed at Laguna, no suspension changes and now it's loose. I did dump an exhaust that was costing me 30hp, so maybe the added grunt has changed the balance.

Nobody - Good to meet you too. Hey, now that you car's had contact at the track you're all set for ITE...

Bill

 

Another note is that those big adjustable bars are stiffer than the CT non-adjustable, even on their softest setting (something like 100% stiffer minimum). So you should assume that the big bar will probably over-correct, and you'll need to do a spring change anyway.

 

Anybody have the stiffness specs for the .0188 and .25 Gendron bar?

I havn't been able to find it with the search?

 

call those guys up at www.smallfortuneracing.com... or something like that
I got a hollow bar from gendron and love it

 

First on the contact in ITE. I've had none as have most any of the guys I race with

and wha happenend?
