StoplightAssassin Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 You'll never see a real track car with dual sway bars. You tune with spring rates, not with DOUBLE SWAY BARS YOOOOO!!! If you wanted a car that behaves like it has a live axle, just get a Mustang. Wait...AWD MUSTANG BRO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggerheist Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Haha! Nice dude, also, let me aggregate some other dual sways: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y206/PoisonBeef/saab/HPIM2192.jpg On a saab http://personal.linkline.com/dbarton/DualSways(25mm)3.jpg Not sure what is going on here, but it's a volvo Here's a guy who did a nasty looking job on a mercedes http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w126-s-se-sec-sel-sd/1204879-rear-end-lazy.html All this proves is you're not the only tard in the world.

ras06LGT Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 With a double RSB my car tended to oversteer a bit more than I would care for. I was thinking about maybe doubling up my front bar to bring the balance back to neutral (or close). Maybe even tripling up the front if I can find a small enough bar from a Honda or something. Would this work? My armchair engineering tells me this still might not be right. Maybe 2.5x FSB and one rear? Or 2 front, 2.5 rear? That should be about right I think. Eh, I'll try 'em all - zip ties are cheap. (If you think my comment is dumb it's because this thread is dumb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Might as well add some hillbilly engineering to this thread: I have decided my front spring rates are too low for my desired drop. So, I am going to cut 2" off my OEM front springs, then cut 3" off my extra set of OEM rear springs and insert the rear springs into the front springs. I am calling it the beehive spring set up. Should give me a wicked drop and bust my kidneys on rough roads. Teeth are over rated. Combine this with the double OEM rear sway bar "hack" and I am NASCAR certified by Ricky Bobby!

lilbrudder Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 This obviously works, I don't see what the big joke is, but I can't say I expected more form some on this site...predictable. I admit it is a bit unorthodox but so is duct tape for aerodynamics or washers for exhaust or spoilers. Besides since the 25rsb is off the market what other options are there w/o sacrificing ride quality or dumping unlimited funds into engineering a new rsb.

I'm not sure what the 25RSB is, but there are definitely other options... There was a hotchkiss group buy: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2nd-annual-hotchkis-sway-bar-group-buy-215125.html AVO, Cusco, and Whiteline are all still available.

I Donated bucko3the7man Posted December 12, 2013 I Donated Share Posted December 12, 2013 If I put two hotchkis bars on, does that give me 44mm of sway bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 If I put two hotchkis bars on, does that give me 44mm of sway bar? You have to calculate cross-sectional area, but the Hotchkis is hollow, right? So... let's use a solid 25mm Perrin bar instead. The cross sectional area of a solid OEM bar of 18mm is 3.142159 x (18/2)^2 = 254.47mm. If you use two, that's a total of 508.94mm. A 25mm Perrin bar only gives you a cross-section of 490.87mm. OP wins. It's physics. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleaidestar Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Those dual sway bars on that Mercedes looks like waaaay less of a hack job than op's, more craftsmanship doesn't mean more better its still ridiculous none the less. the gas tank is still full on this thread.
