planelazy Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Sway bars. They make a HUGE difference in the car. Best deal going is the Hotchkis set up (price/quality/performance) IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thats a nice package deal on sways. I prefer solid sways, but those are a good option. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 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 -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
