Yeah but. My current car is setup like your race car, slight oversteer. Lowered, lots of negative camber, not as much fun to drive anymore on our country roads. Incredibly fun, though, on the race track. Does he want that?

Well we have very, very good roads here. Mostly because we don't usually get much snow so if the car is a bit stiff that's cool. We also tend to drive faster here, there is much less speed enforcement than down south. After some thought, I think I will get the 27mm bars. That will be a bit stiffer than stock and should give me a neutral to slight oversteer car. Thanks for the feedback folks !

27 is a big increase...nearly double the factory rate. You should be happy with it.

On another note, What are your plans for rear bushings? I have some feedback on where to get most bang for the buck.

Wow for some reason I thought our cars came with 25mm bars. Just looked on Clarks and it turns out we have 23.5. Ooops. looks like 26mm will do the trick.
Rasta,I have a full set of the black (Weltmeister?) bushings for the torsion bar carrier. Got them with a parts lot we bought somewhere. However, if you have a better suggestion that doesn't cost a mint I'm all ears. Hate to install the freebies just to regret it later.

Thanks guys

I have 250# springs up front and the stock 23.5mm t-bars. Front sway 23mm rear 19mm 3 way adjustable (set to the tightest setting). With 205/245 tires and the suggested alignment from the Pasha article.

I find it does understeer a bit on track in tighter corners but is fairly neutral in faster sweeping corners. I messed with tire pressures a bit and it helped get rid of a little understeer.

I plan on doing the t-bars one day and going with a bigger front sway bar to finish the suspension as suggested in that article.
