Re: [Opinion] Front End Anti-Sway Bar Theory

[Jim Buck <vwpride@mixi.net>]

Good question Mark.  My feeling is that they are running spring rates high
enough to offset severe oversteer, so for track, it can work.  However, I favor
a stiff front bar and lots of negative camber on the front wheels to induce
balance in cornering.  I run a stock rear bar, stock springs, 22mm Autotech
front bar, and 2.5 degrees negative camber on the front wheels, and have no
understeer problem whatsoever, unless it rains.
