I need some more info on swaybars. Is it really necessary to get an adjustable one or is that just for serious trackers? What would be the benefits of a rear bar? I know(correct me if i'm wrong) that a thicker front bar would plant the rear wheels for less oversteer. Are the MY04 as loose endy as the previous S's? Would a 30mm bar do or would the cusco 34mm?

I read in the gruppe-s website that the front bar will increase understeer, that's why it's the most common to upgrade on the s2k since it likes to over do it. But the MY04+ don't really over steer too much, atleast mine. Would it be better to install both rear/front?

 

I'm confused. You say your car handles fine, so why do you want to change? Swaybars are most commonly used to restore balance after altering relative f/r grip (i.e. larger front tires), or to alleviate specific problems such as inside rear wheel spin with R compound tires. Since you've got neither issue, there's no need to change swaybars. The only other point of swaybars is to reduce body roll, but that is much better dealt with via appropriate springs.

 

I suggest you don't change anything unless you personally experience a problem consistently (and in the conditions for which you want to optimize, i.e. track or particular auto-x conditions, with your driving style), then address that problem. Don't just go by what you've heard.

 

Sounds good, i'll just keep autocrossing and see if any of the problems persists. What i've experienced a couple of times is the rear inner wheel lifting. Nothing else, no sever oversteer or anything like that. Thanks
