Swaybars

Post by Korey »

Is it true that no sway bar in the back will create more oversteer? I have always heard that, thought I would ask the drift junkies for the facts. :D
I have Suspension techniques (22mm front and 19mm in the rear)..What would be the downfall of removing the rear swaybar?
Thanks,
Korey

I think your right, because I just looked around some e30 forums and thats what the majority of them were saying. At the moment it's a e30 with the eta motor, and I would like to be able to slide better using what I have until the summer. Will removing this front bar, and keeping the rear bar cause any problems? I think I've come up with a basic plan for summer mods:
Stg 3 clutch, aluminum pressure plate, lightweight flywheel, Turnermotorsport J-stock suspension, and all urethane mounts.

The fact that it's a coat hanger or it's plastic?
