Wanted: 4000 Quattro Front Swaybar....
Well, not wanted, so much as desired...fantasized about...
Car is handling well, now with the addition of new:
Boge TG's
All new little rubbery and plasticky pieces of the suspension (literally
everything)
New H&R's...
Soon to be a strut brace if I can ever get the paint job right, and figure
out how to drill on both sides of a Strut pillar...
Less fat driver...*smile*
Anyway, to the point:
I've heard from various sources that the addition of a front swaybar from
a 4kq fits nicely in the rear. If that is accepted as a fact, then the
question of "Is this a good thing to do?" and "Will I die or sustain great
bodily harm because of this modification?" come next..
I know that the end that has more roll stiffness will roll first out of
control in a spin (did that make sense?) and would a rollbar with the same
stiffness cause a problem? Will this affect winter driving (i.e. More
control needed for tight situations)
Would any modifications would need to be made to just "put on" a front
swaybar on the rear. Are there mount points already laid out for the
addition (hoping). Is this addition wise?
Thoughts, comments or flames are always welcome...
And I DID check the archives with the search function about 15 times, and
I guess I just wasn't massaging it the right way, because all I got was
dead-ends.
