Anti-Roll bar question

[planelazy]

On my previous ride.. a '02 Sentra SE-R (No LSD) in stock form the car had quite a bit of understeer.. after all it was fwd with gobs of torque.. I was able to reduce the amount of understeer with wider tires, TIEN basic coilovers, a front tower strut bar, and a NISMO rear sway bar. THe rear suspension on the Sentra was (probably still is) a beam bar, it wasn't independent.. and there was no stock rear sway bar.. anyways.. all of this stuff reduced the understeer.. but I understand that our LGT's have natural oversteer.. so my question is, what can I do to reduce it?

 

Obviously, wider tires (225's instead of stock 215's) will help a bit.. but am I correct in thinking a slightly thicker RSB.. maybe the CUSCO one at 23mm and a thicker FSB will reduce it? My LGT is my first AWD vehicle so as far as this goes I'm learning

Sway bars. They make a HUGE difference in the car. Best deal going is the Hotchkis set up (price/quality/performance) IMHO.

I can do better pricing via PM.

Thats a nice package deal on sways. I prefer solid sways, but those are a good option.

Why do you prefer solid sway bars?

Stiffer for the same outside diameter

More durable - I've heard of cases where a hollow bar cracks, usually a defect though

Everything is breakable. But after 2 cars and countless track sessions my Cobbs are perfect still. The Cobbs I have are the same. Made by Hotchkis and branded Cobb.

 

Hollow is lighter too. Also more expensive to produce.

 

But, my second choice would be Whiteline.
