Lets Talk About Sway Bars

SillyAssKilby · 04-16-2002, 12:18 PM

I have a set of Cusco sway bars on the way. I am just trying to get a little info on the adjustable settings. You have three holes on the ends of the rear bars. Lets call them 1-3. Hole 1 is at the end, and hole 3 is the farthest in. What would the settings be then. Which would be the most benificial(sp?) to get rid of the stock understeer.
Thanks for any help.

think about it live a see saw .. the further out you are teh less weight you have to have to balance the see saw .. or the further you the greater mechanical advantage you have ...

so by your numberin setup 1 is the lowest 3 is the highest

with stock suspension.. start at 1 then work your way up

Dont forget that three holes on each side means you have 5 possible resistance levels.
Well, six really, but who would put one at each extreme?

Exactly. I have the Whiteline adjustable rear bar, and the hole furthest out is the 18mm setting. Center is 20mm, and the furthest in is 22mm.

I've had it set at 18mm since day one.
