hey i searched didnt see much. But what kind of spring rates are you guys most likely using? Are you keeping the Sway connected or do you dis connect the rear one. What are the other major settings you change toe/camber??? maybe we should make this a sticky.

no we shouldnt...cause people like to use different setups, cause people also use their cars as a daily driver, some dont..

my spring rates are 8/6 i have no rear sway bar (base s14 FTMFL) i have a front and rear strut bar, i have -1 in the rear and -.75 in the front or around there...i forget

hey yangsS14 thanks for the quick and great reply. You want to disconnect the front Sway bar in an FF car to help with understeer, so by disconnecting in a RWD platform should help with over steer thus being more nuetral. think of it like this when sliding the sway would be creating a pulling force on both wheels. actually over dragging. the outter rim would be pulling on the inner rim closest to the apex.

if you wanna driftdisconnecting the rear sway bar wont help you.

wait.. do you want more oversteer or less?

either way. its best to run sways in rear and up front.. for a more neutral feel

Dammit.. wheres Kamin..

haha i wasnt even gonna touch that one..

parts dont make a car handle driver input does.. take a skilled driver and hell run circles around u in a stock s13 even if u have the most modded signal auto sponsored s14 on the continent. BELIEVE IT!

that being said adjusting parts and settings to driver style is how the parts actually benifit.. every car and driver should have a different setting to work properly.. but i dont think u are at a level to even worry about that.. not flaming or calling u a newb.. just stating that from your post u shouldnt worry about that **** yet.
