On the street I never noticed tire lift on my car with the rear swaybar.
On tight turns on concrete in the autocross, I did notice tire lift with tire spinning. Only solution to that would have been reduce rear spring rate. Car was very well balanced, or figure out a way to maintain forward momentum while in the corner. I chose the latter and installed a Factory ZF limited slip, which latter was replace with a Guard Limited slip due to the declaration ramps. I like a rear swaybar always have always will. People like JP Stein never liked them, but we ran in two different areas, and on different surfaces, with different car setups. The 914-6 I only have the front H&H unit right now. I plan on running 150 lbs rear springs, but I have spring sets that go all the way to 300. I am going to see what I get, as the plan was not to get the welder out for that car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) The EG conversion car has 22 mm from t bars, 225 rear springs and a huge front swaybar. I will start with no rear bar, both cars are setup with a torque biased limited slip. I would love to find an H&H for the 914-6 as it would fit the restored theme for that car. Will not know if I need one for either car until they are on the road. |
