Type 44 Swaybar Questions..or: Listing Like A Spanish Galleon

[Gerard]

I'm about to say something stupid here when I really shouldn't. Just 
'cos I really don't have any knowledge whatsoever regarding suspension 
tuning. :)

It does sound right that to tame an understeer vehicle you'd want the 
back to break away more freely, but in the type-44 the engine really 
does hang over the front quite a bit, so in my mind (which is usually 
working in many strange ways, most often ruled by stupidity and 
ignorance) that would mean there'd be some horrible weight shift as the 
front tried to turn. That in turn could maybe try and shove the vehicle 
forward on its original line of travel, and that means understeer. So 
maybe the idea is to tame the front to reduce lateral weight shift on 
cornering and maybe give the tyres and steering more opportunity to do 
what they're trying to do.

Then again, maybe the answer to it is to find out who here has done a 
swaybar upgrade to the front and then also the rear of the t44. I'm 
interested to know, as I've got a V8 front swaybar on my wishlist for my 
FWD 200.
