Brian,

Which part of the corner are you looking to gain steering in and what is your shock mount/spring/dampening setup?

The rear end of the 05 is pretty light and adding a rear sway bar shouldn't be necessary. If your lacking steering with it, then there might be an issue with something critical in your current setup, like tires. However, the effects are (copied from the Hudy setup book):

Stiffer
• Less chassis roll.
• Decreases rear traction.
• Increases front traction.
• Increases on-power steering (may cause oversteer).
• Quicker steering response in high speed chicanes.
Softer
• More chassis roll.
• Increases rear traction.
• Decreases front traction.
• Decreases on-power steering (increases understeer).

teamgp,

I am looking to gain steering on-power. I have never had the feeling that the car is light in the rear, and I would be happy if I could get it to break loose. It looks like the stiffer rear sway bar might get the job done.

My setup is very similar to Mike Dumas' setup from the Carpet Nats. I am running one spring rate less than he was in the front and the 1mm sway bar.

Thanks!
