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

Yup, in addition to increasing the car's polar moment of inertia (already substantial) making it change direction more slowly, albeit slightly.  Not what I want.  I thought it was a pretty radical modification just to get more weight over the rear tires, but I've never calculated where the roll axis on the car is.  You're right.

Thanks also for the roll camber gain insight.  

Cheers,
