Default spring rates vs sway bar diameter

I drive hill and circle race's, hole year I'm on D2 coil overs f13/r7 and original front sway bar 23mm and 15mm rear, the car is relative neutral and turn good but I think the reason for that it's because I'm slow I think there is some connection between spring rate and sway bar diameter.For example, high spring rate whit original sway bar or opposite way? What do you think? Sorry I forgot, my race car is civic EG6 which weight 900kg=1980lbs and it's on slick tires.

Why don't you try reversing the spring rate 13R 7 F

Then disconnect front bar 23 is too big.


And 7 is too soft I think it's only 385lbs

It's not a problem I will buy other springs, I saw the topic for spring rates and I notice that some prefer 10f/14r setup. What do you think with disconnecting? You mean to drive with 20mm sway bar or slimmer? Than why they put bigger sway on ITR

Reverse the spring and see and disconnect I think you will like it.

I think try 500lbs in the front then keep the 14 in the rear it should be more fun.


They put the bigger in the front so people don't kill themselves.

You can try smaller bar in the front but put everything bigger in the rear.
