Rear Sway bar
« on: October 10 2014, 11:09:10 AM »
So I have the Hellwig rear bar. For best launch I want this set harder or softer. I thought harder. It has 3 holes in bar ends and also an adjustable drop link for fine tuning I guess. I currently have it set in the hole in the end which I think is the softest setting, so my understanding is to increase stiffness I move to the middle and then hardest setting would be the hole 2 inches in from the end?

I'm curious also.
Also do you preload the PS by shortening it or lengthiness the DS links?

you want it stiffer so put it in the short hole so the leverage is less

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
