How To Choose the Right Sway Bars

finally someone on YouTube acknowledges basic vehicle dynamics instead of saying "big bar make car corner better"

Bro really roasted my celica

I was recommended your channel, sick miata bro, i dont see much NBs around YouTube these days

For those who drive a FWD car, and actually take it to the limits on mountain roads, you need both for maximum handling performance. I only got the rear sway bar because people all over say it’s better just getting a rear, however, I notice that on less sharper turns and on roads with less turns that this is mainly true, however, there are also roads that have turn after turn after turn, and they are quite sharp. The upgraded rear sway bar does only half of what my car can potentially do. Getting a front sway bar on the FWD car took it to the next level. I noticed easier and longer ability to rotate around the corner without a hassle, while with only and upgraded rear, i would understeer way too much try to flee or keep up with other cars. Get both sway bars for the mountains!

Are we not talking about the man on top of the car on a surfboard

The tires says 'Kumho'
My brain: giggles

One of the only things I’ve done to my golf 😂

I have a thicker rear sway on my under steering Celica. I been telling folk to do this for a while. And hard suspension springs. Softer settings at the back harder at the front. Like 90/80% f/r also almost max tiring rating psi in the tires. Not over inflated. Just hard setting. Drop the psi at the front for more corner grip. Harder for more accel n top speed. These are my experiment settings for FWD cars. Works for me. Would take advice for any other settings. I just play with numbers and feel out my vehicle response.

I made a front strut bar out of a dismantled shed after I put coils in my NB, made a hell of a difference. Logged data from a physics app in my phone, G forces around corners went from 0.8 to 1.3G afterwards, that's with semi slicks as well. Best use of scrap metal ever. Nice car bro.

I never understood roll bars before, always thought bigger was better, but heard (on a Fiero forum) that going to a smaller bar can improve handling. Now I know why.

Went from 22mm front to 24mm front and no rear bar to having one and made a serious improvement on corner rotation on my 2010 Vauxhall Astra VXR it's the most important mod to do on them and reduce that front end understeer

Thank you for explaining this sway bar stuff. You explained the heart of the matter instead of going through the bullshit of like, comment and subscribe. Thank you

I used to own a 8th gen Civic Si sedan with tein coilovers. While competing in autocross it was incredibly difficult to get the car to rotate with the stock rear roll bar, so I installed the eibach rear roll bar. I noticed that the car rotated better but at the same time it was more difficult to balance the car on the edge of grip through faster corners. It ultimately helped my time but it was definitely a more loose setup than before.

Yup, Our (HalferLand Performance) 550whp 06' Accord had major understeer. Add a Acura TL Type S 20mm rear sway and now it handles like a dream with an actual hint of oversteer, just enough to get the rear to rotate and point the front...plus we run 245's squared all around

I have been looking to upgrade the anti roll bars in my Volvo for a long time now.
Hard suspension, but still too much body roll. Now I know a basic outline of what to look out for!
Thank you very much!

I actually swapped to a smaller front bar on my Outback. It gave me a bit more body roll, but it also felt more stable in long corners, like a highway off-ramp. It's not the optimal setup for racing, but for a pure daily, it was perfect.

Bro I love those wheels on your Miata

Say less I didn't know it went into such detail thanks for helping with the drift configs 🎉🎉 took me 3 years to figure it out and you explained it the way I needed to hear it

Thank you. I’m going to use this knowledge for setups in iRacing

You genuinely just taught me something. Thanks
