Re: Stock 16v Sways <HELP>

["Paul Krucke" <pkrucke@logistics.calibersys.com>]

     Ok, need some advise here.  First, this is what I've got;
     
     87 Scirocco 16v
     Neuspeed Lowering Springs (Sitting 1.25" lower)
     Bilstein HD
     16"x7.5" TSW EVO w/Dunlop SP8000 205.45.16 with 35mm Offset
     Running -1.5 degrees negative camber up front, stock rear
     
     EVERYTHING else STOCK. :-|
     
     My observations/questions.  (I am new to the performance scene so all 
     criticisms welcome).  First, under semi-hard to hard cornering I 
     experience front wheel rub with the 16's (Outside top lip of fender).  
     My tuner said its no big deal, but the sound of the rubbing makes me 
     nervous and reserved in corners.  I have already taken out the plastic 
     inner-fender guards against my will, and the tuner clearence one of 
     the lips that the fender flare attaches to. Next, the camber 
     adjustment has eliminated understeer, but now the car has some nevous 
     handling especially in the rear, and quite frankly I think it sucks in 
     transitions.  Turn in is good however, but I think in now oversteers 
     too much.  I had to move the car last week as I have moved, and 
     normally store the car over the winter.  I had the stock 14x6 tire/rim 
     combos on it, and I swear it handled better with the 14's.  Plus no 
     rub.  
     
     Questions.  Would a ??/28mm sway bar correct my problems with my set 
     up by 1) Stiffening everything up perhaps preventing sway causing the 
     wheel rub in corners?  Thereby making my 16's acceptable.  Or should I 
     ditch the 16's, put my inner fender guards back on and run the 
     teardrops?  
     
     What to do??????
