can someone help...... hard or soft sway bars....whats better for what?

 

Stiffening the front or softening the rear induces understeer and/or reduces oversteer.

Stiffening the rear or softening the front induces oversteer and/or reduces understeer.

Most people here like to keep their rears more planted so they upgrade their fronts to a stiffer one. Some people here disconnect their rear completely.

 

so i guess stiffening the front, you have less of a chance of the rear coming out?

what about x braces?

do they work better than sway bars?

 

An stiffer anti-roll bar ("sway bar") makes the end of the car where it is installed handle more of the total weight transfer during cornering. Bigger front bar = less oversteer.

A chassis brace is a chassis modification and the effects are minimal compared to anti-roll bars. Put the money in a good adjustable front bar instead.

Are you running R compound tires?

 

no, i'm not running r compound tires, and im not planning on autoxing the car either, i just want the peace of mind that my rear end will not come out on me and cause a spin out during a little spirited driving, also on wet conditions.

is sway bar still the way to go?

also, does sway bars add complications to oil changes?

 

no.

 

You could also try increasing your stagger with a 215/255 tire setup. But a stiffer front sway bar is the way to go imo. I wouldn't disconnect the rear bar unless you're into tracking your car.

A sway bar won't get in the way of your oil changes. You're not *adding* a sway bar; our cars are already equipped with them. What you're doing is replacing it with a bigger/stiffer one.

i defintely agree with you MX-5,i thought about lessons and all

but i just want that assurance if sway bar is the way to go in terms of wet condition and during some fun cornerings

again im not looking to race, and i don't really want to mod the car as well, i just want to be SAFE of what the road throw at me be it the weather or the corners.

in that case, i guess im better off getting a wider rear tires to keep the back in check?

 

Get some 275s and roll those fenders
