a stiffer rear sway bar will loosen the car


"Loosen?" I didn't know they had NASCAR in the Great White North. . .

Hm. As Scott said, check your alignment, maybe try som more track friendly settings. My car was very netutral before, but as the tires started to wear out it passed over to the oversteer side. Just a little bit, but still pretty fast.

The key is to have real rubber on your wheel. If you have planned to track drive more than one time i suggest buying a set of "r-compund" tires, not really sure what you call them. Really stiff sidewalls helps alot, and they do not overheat. Current set up is about -3 degrees of negative camber. After i changed camber i gained ALOT of front end grip. But i´m to lazy to change rear. Its about -1.2 degrees. That is a cheap way of getting fast around the tracks.


And a way to very quicky wear out tires on the street!

Na, great amounts of negative camber doesnt do very much to wear out tires on the street. But when driving on my track tires its very nervous if there are deep tracks on crappy road. No problem though if i change to my street tires. But, to much toe-out on the other side can wear out the tires very quick.
