@Xmvw2X2 ай бұрын
There's three things that might be nice to cover when discussing sway bars. One, a sway bar is a spring that has no damping. This spring force is only damped by the main spring damper on the car. So a big sway bar on a softly sprung car will often be exceptionally twitchy in behavior and very sensitive to steering inputs. It can be very easy to get a twitchy car that can snap oversteer if you go too big on the sway bar size on a car with a softer suspension setup. Two, aligning with number one, you can specifically choose dampers with high low speed damping, specifically digressive style damping profiles that will offer a lot of chassis motion control on even a relatively soft spring setup. This in turn allows you to gain a lot of damping control for bigger sway bars and prevent the twitchiness that often comes with larger sway bars. Even on moderately sprung cars, most the damping is being used to control the chassis and the main springs. There's often not a lot left over to handle sway bar spring effect too. It's almost always good to get a digressive style damping profile. Three, a sway bar limits independence of the suspension. You will reach a limit of stiffness that will work on a given surface roughness/unevenness. Too rough of a road surface, you might find yourself lifting a tire off the ground. A softer setup (springs and sways) caters better towards a rougher surface. Higher stiffness caters towards smoother road surfaces. There will be a design limit where you can go too stiff.

@@Xmvw2X I can attest to this. I have a fwd car on street coilovers (6k/8k rates with linear dampers) so I got an upgraded rear bar with 3 adjustment holes. At first I set them to max stiffness thinking that would be best to minimize understeer but it was just too twitchy. Setting the sway bar on a softer setting still gave me the same cornering ability but without the twitchy behavior. It didn’t even seem to understeer more like I was anticipating. I’ve never actually timed my car on track and mostly do canyon driving, so I have no way to show data for that, but it felt much better.
@Xmvw2XАй бұрын
@TheRyansLion I like to balance roll stiffness with the sways, but I tend to tweak handing balance with the springs primarily. For me it's springs first, tune the position for bump and drop and squat and dive. Damper setting follows Spring and I do NOT see dampers as an "adjustable" tuning device unless you've at least got a 2-way or greater damper (most don't so it has exactly one right setting, period). To tune, I'll play with tire pressures or even chassis bracing, not dampers. Sways to me are solely for roll stiffness, and I just match squat and dive angles. I don't tune handling with the sways. I'm mostly looking at body roll angle and bump and drop travel, especially under load mid corner so I don't bottom out and upset the car.

Not sure if my opinion matters, but I track only with a solid rear axle....and not the drag strip lol. Generally it's better to run higher rate springs all around, remove the rear sway bar, installing a higher spring rate front sway bar to control sway. Don't want too much anti-squat and a long instant center, past the nose of the vehicle. Raise the front roll center by installing a longer ball joint. Correcting bumpsteer using a bumpsteer kit. Would be nice to understand multi-link or double wishbone rear suspension.

Whiteline makes great stuff. I have a full kit of adjustable swaybars/links on my 15 VA STI. Now, I will say the links started squeeking not even 6 months after install but I live in a frigid tundra state and winters / salt kills anything nice. Also admittedly, I did not know to set the preload with the vehicle on the ground and did it on my lift. Rookie mistake and I learned from it, That being said I asked whiteline about it and they sent me out both a front and rear set of adjustable links under warranty (even though it was my fault) no questions asked. GREAT customer service. I picked up the anti-lift / bumpsteer elimination kit at as well due to that stellar service.

Great video! If you guys ever started an "HP Academy" / "EFI 101" type school for suspension, and have Mike and Dave write the curriculum for the hands on experience at a small track like WS Horse Thief Mile or VIR Patriot Course, with some older Miatas or Zs (350, G35) I would be all in! Like say level 1 class is just adjustable anti roll bars / end links and rebound tuning for some Öhlins DFVs or KW V2s. First some classroom time then run around a track learning how the different settings affect the cars. Then work through the levels to the top tier class which can be a few days long were we go all the way to setting up adjustable multi link arms, four way dampers, front/rear spring ratios and subframe spacers, kind of like how EFI 101 sets up their class structure. Hopefully folks like SPL and Öhlins USA would be all about helping with setting up a school like this with the Moto IQ name on it!

I have a Nissan 370z sport coupe 6MT and one of the first suspension mods I did was to install a set of Hotchkis anti-roll bars on the front and rear. The bars have polyurethane bushings with grease zerk fittings that I shoot grease into every other oil change. The bars made a big improvement in turn in responsiveness and reduction in body roll. The ride is harsher but that was a worthwhile tradeoff for the handling benefits. I think the bars have also helped to even out tire wear at the corners.

I've been licensed tech for over 45 years,,,,, and you are absolutely right, sways are the absolute first thing you must upgrade,, the bigger the better, then suspension,,then tires can be almost any size.. incredible transformation.. My sons custom restomod Jaguar xjs, big V-12 2 door car. Had custom made 1 1/4" fronts and 1" rears, compared to original 7/8" front only... Holy shit the car drives on rails now. Then suspension dropped with semi stiff springs to keep that incredibly smooth ride.. and that's another great thing about sways,, they don't had to the ride stiffness, just cornering stiffness..

It should also be mentioned if go to firmer springs + thicker sway bar, you WILL need a considerably upgraded shocked, the sway bar is a spring after all, it MUST be damped and that is handled by the dampers.

I went back to the factory rear bar and it's miles better in handling and ride quality. I used to have one of my rear wheels lift slightly in corners and it's no longer the case. I am also a street/mild off roader build, so your mileage may vary. I also have Bilstein B6's in the rear to compensate for my thicker springs.
