Stiffer Front Sway Bar?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

CoryM · 02-23-2016, 11:31 PM

Bit of an update after this weekends autoX: I think with my setup, and at autoX, the front swaybar is a good investment. It would still be basically the last thing I would put on the car though.

Pros:
-screams through the slaloms etc now
-was able to reduce tire pressures
-was able to reduce neg. camber to -2.5° (car brakes much better now because of it)
-more contact patch on the drive wheel in corners (still waiting for a good picture to prove that though)

Cons:
-cost
-understeers a hair more on launch, and occasionally on turn-in (but turns to oversteer immediately)

Basically I can be on the gas sooner, and on the brakes later. That's a win to me.

Cheers.
