Did you find the need to upsize your front swaybar? My understanding is the monoleaf front offers about 25% of the anti-sway, (and the rear does nothing because the mounting points are in the center.)


This is the common practice for a few reasons. I never drove the car with the stock bar so I can't offer you a comparison. However, with staggered tires (275f / 315r) I have very good balance - neutral overall with slight push in slow / tight turns. With 275 square (what I had to run at Nationals) the car is a little tail happy but lap times were similar, just more work to get there. I think I'll be going with less bar in the back (back to the 19mm, or maybe nothing at all) but keeping the larger front bar. We'll see if loosening the back induces understeer.

The car will be much lighter and stiffer in about two weeks, so it will be a complete re-balancing and relearning effort, anyway.
