Rear Stabilizer or Sway Bar

[Lawrence C Leung]

So you're saying it needs a stress bar and perhaps a larger front swaybar
(whose purpose is not for the increased roll stiffness and transition
rate, which normally promotes understeer, but more to keep the contact
patches more vertically oriented?)? Technique worked on my SCCA stock
class Golf GTi, rules prevent adding a rear anti-roll bar, front was
fitted to control the contact patches, car is much more neutral and
responsive. Too bad the rules don't allow a stress bar (stock class).
