97 LGT Want AutoX Sways HELP!!!

[pheonix991]

I'm fed up with the body roll, I want sways, I'm looking at WRX sways from Rallitek. I don't know what to get, help me out!!! I know 02-03 WRX springs and struts work for BD's, what about Sways? I want to eliminate roll, and maximize grip around corners. How big are too big?

These are what I'm looking at right now.

Thanks guys.

You can't use the WRX rear sways unless you plan on flattening/bashing in a section of your spare tire well. If that's ok with you, then I recommend a nice 20-22mm RSB. Helps the rear end to plant itself better.

swaybar faq?

I have whiteline 22mm adjustable bars and kartboy endlinks. very happy.

Get a Whiteline 20mm or 22mm adjustable I'm going with the 22mm. I'm pretty sure whiteline is the only one that makes BD specific sways.

For AutoX you want a very very large front swaybar. A larger rear will help but the front makes the most difference on an AutoX course. This isn't necessarily the best for street driving, it just depends on your setup. I love the Whiteline 22mm front sway on my AutoX car and its perfect for street as well. If it was an AutoX only car, I'd go 25mm or larger in the front.

What about RallyX?

less swaybar. there's less grip, therefore less lateral load, so the car doesn't roll as much. That means the tire spends more time in it's happy place. It's also important to maintain independence on uneven surfaces, which swaybars take away.

[ScaryFatKidGT]

Oh ok. So whats ideal? Close to stock just solid end links all around and maybe an 18mm rear just to Improve balance? Or would it be better to go with a smaller front bar? (I know different conditions would have different idea setups)

Im running GT front Stock and Outback rear on BC coilovers. It sucks. If you auto-x, you want ateleast the 22mm, but im on the lookout for a B9 Tribeca front bar (27mm i believe)

I'm speaking from an AWD point of view, its probably different for FWD. But for rallyX you don't want large swaybars. Suspension travel is a good thing for RallyX. Larger bars are going to cause the car to be more unstable which can be "fun" but not always fast.

[jamal]

stock front and a 18mm rear bar are good for rallyx.

the tribeca bar is 25mm, but it is also longer than the stock one, so the effective diameter is less. More like 23mm or so.
