I'm putting my front and rear suspension together at the moment and wasn't sure whether I sould fit swaybars. The car has an independant rear end, runs coilovers all round and 17" wheels. The provisions are there on my chassis for both front and rear bars.

How much of a difference they make? is any one using adjustable swaybars on a street car?

The car will be mainly street driven with an ocasional track day
Do you guys run both front and rear bars?

Cheers
Hi AussieMike,

You may wish to visit Chassis design .

there is a fair amount of verbiage there about suspension and anti-roll bars.

If you have other questions, I will try to help out with numbers etc. However, I will need front weight, rear weight, spring rates, motion ratios, and damper rates to give you proper recommendations as to anti-roll sizing.

Hope this helps a bit.
