How much will a rear sway bar from a 93 Z help me?...

Cause I want my car to have more oversteer. As I know of the 93Z rear sway bar is 2mm bigger than my sway bar. Will this help much with oversteer? thanks

The largest 4thgen rear sway bar is the 1LE which is 21mm. The thirdgen rear bars are much larger, with the 1LE being the largest at 24mm, most Z28's came with a 23mm.

All late 80-s and up IROC's, & TA's, that had RPO code FE2 have 36mm front/24mm rear swaybars. WS6, B4C, & 1LE's had the same bars too.

A thicker bar on the back should produce more overstear. Counter example is that on a wet track you loosen up the roll bars so that you have more grip.

However, this is trial and error stuff so it's difficult to predict how much overstear you'd get with a 2mm difference on your particular car.

Air pressures make a difference too.

Also, a way to produce overstear is to get more grip at the front so a thinner bar at the front should help.

You need to change one thing at a time and then see what it does.
