Spring rate and swaybar question
was just browsing around looking at new parts, and had a brainfart lol
about springrates and swaybar size, when going for oversteer bias suspension, i know youd want a smaller front bar and larger rear, and my heads telling me that youd want higher spring rates in the front and slightly lower in the rear, but for some reason that doesnt sound right, is that right? or do i have it backwards and you want the lower in front and higher out back?

Since it's ITR forum, I assume you're talking about DC2. Keep in mind that the motion ratio in more effective in rear, so even if the spring rate is lower in rear, the rear stiffness from the springs could still be higher than front.
lol wai. when he posted thanks and i about said well since wai will see this there are other factors...and good figure. lol.
This might help.
