I'm looking for some advice. The engine is almost back in the car, and I then need to finish the chassis upgrades.

I have a ST front sway bar to install and my friend seems to think that if I remove the sway bar altogether and NOT install the ST bar, that will significantly remove any understeer.

cwm13.gif <- I gave him one of these.

Doesn't make much sense to me to completely remove it; the new REAR sway bar is installed and set to stiff. But I can't see this car having so much HP that understeer would be affected at all...

Squash this inner turmoil for me.

... and GO!

I'm curious... under what conditions are you experiencing understeer?

It will take him a moment to realize that he's about to make a 180 degree turn at speed, but you will be ready for it. Brace for the g's, and fast heel-toe work.
