For everyone with suspension tech sway bars look inside...

From what I hear from before everyone says that the suspension tech. sway bars make their car oversteer. Is this true? I recently put suspension tech sway bars and my car handles like a ***! Most people would probably want my cars handling ability. I mean seriously this car can grip almost any turn like crazy. BUT I bought these sway bars atcually because people said it caused extreme oversteer. O_o

interesting....

what springs do you have on there? you might try putting your old front bar, with the new rear bar. (assuming the new ones are both larger than what you had).

as for springs I have the ground control weight jack system set up. Which is...800/175

Yea Im going to try and put a stock front sway bar to see if it helps. I got a stock RS one and also a stock Z28 one guess I'll try both to see which one is better.

800# springs, and an aftermarket sway bar, you might as well have a solid front axle

Could the end-link nuts have loosened up somehow? I had that happen after I had just rebuilt my suspension... cornering suddenly went to hell after a day or two. I slid under, and my rear end-links had loosened up. Tightened them back down, and they've been fine. I guess I used too much WD40?

nah they werent loose...yesterday was a big event and all day I was constantly trying to adjust suspension peices to try and make the car have more over steer. Or atleast get rid of the huge *** understeer problem when sliding. Anyways I changed the front sway bar over to the stock sway bar but left the st rear sway bar and now the car drifts good. The suspension feels alot smoother now also...I guess cause there some play in the front. On top of that I also improved my turning radius...seems that ST front sway bars and 9" wide rims dont work to good. My tires rubbed the bar. O_o
