What I said is correct under certain circumstances. As many people in this thread have stated, there are a huge amount of variables that would determine a cars handling. The question I posed can not be answered universally. It all varies from car to car. Bobby’s Si would benefit from a larger front sway bar to compliment the larger rear sway bar he put in. :up You were not right, neither was I. :retardclap Have fun driving the compass around corners :rofl ---
