Default Re: Tuning out just a little roll over

Hi

The anti-rollbar is the best for g-body cars .
I race a g-body car in k/sa ,my best 60 foot has been 1.46 . Adjustable rear shocks are a must . Trying to set up my car with scales was a waste of time for me . No air-bags or as i say the 2 x 4 setup . Stock rear springs are best on both sides . Front moroso springs are a must but do not cut . There is a lot more but every thing counts i have raced this car for 20 years and i am still finding things out . THis story never ends . The front end is another story . And the the rear end requres more .

Anti roll bar is the only way to fix this problem right. An air bag is just a band aid and who wants their car sitting up on that side, plus it throws the whole geometry of the rear suspension off.....The problem is that the rear control arms are moving at different rates when you launch the car; The right side is planting harder so it wants to try to "roll" the body to that side causing the separation on the left side. An anti roll bar will correct this so that both sides have to move at the same rate. Some people use a straight sway bar that ties the two rear lower control arms together and it works, if you did not want to invest in an anti roll bar.

I agree with K Stubbs, the anti-roll is the best. I have tried the air bag in the right rear, that is just a band-aid it will never get all the roll out. The big rear anti-sway bar works better, if you also use the front bar I have had every one of these setups in my car at one time or another. The anti-roll was the only one that made it exactly how I wanted it. It only took me seven yrs. to figure it out.

O.K So my only decision now is Sway bar or Anti-roll The anti-roll set up requires welding......Legal for stock?
