Default sway bar ?

I was wondering why you would do a smaller sway bar up front and alot bigger one in the rear.

Because everyone else is doing it.

You may want to read the archives, as this is discussed quite frequently. Or better yet, go to Amazon.com and buy yourself some suspension tuning books.

For the exact opposite reason of why I have a big front sway bar and the small stock sway bar in the rear.

He might not get that, since you know have that sideways-monkey-thing avatar MR. O'Two.

Unknown2:
There was an old book from the '80's that covered FWD handling. I think it had the first Comptech Integra (1st gen car, Firehawk Endurance class I think) on the cover and in alot of the examples. Can't think of the title but it would give you the basics and then you can move on to the other ones (which are usually more geared towards RWD or formula type cars).

Unless you REALLY care to understand all of the answeres to your question I would start with just the HT search button. It will be more applicable to your car than even the best suspension books and is certainly more efficient unless, like I said, you really want to know.

Yep.

Use the forum FAQ, look for the "rear stiff suspension" link and the archived search.
