I road race primarily and I have a pretty agressive sway bar setup on my other cars. I'm new to the 240 so I'm not sure how a 31mm in the front and a 28 in the rear will affect the overall handling of the car. Experience leads me to believe that the car would have a slight tendency to oversteer but I can't say for sure. Comments?

Rear 28 mm is pretty severe...........roughly 220 pounds per inch depending on arm length and bushings stiffness.

The stardard rule of thumb is to never have a rear bar stiffer than the rear springs [oem are about 120 lb/in] so a 24mm rear bar would be the max norminally used........with a smaller front bar.

Many mistakenly [or to reduce front roll] add stiffness to the front via larger than oem bars to negate some of the created oversteer.

Must ride pretty rough on bumps.

I'd be installing a set of Tein HEs at the same time which are 448lb in the front and 336lb in the rear. Do you still feel that taking that into account the 28 in the rear would be a bit much?
