Settings For Front And Rear Sway Bars With Front Adjustable Castor

[evil_weevil]

Hey guys,

Im going to get my suspension fitted early next week - got the whiteline f & r sway bars and front castor adjuster - what sort of settings should I say to them? Ive got the bilstein shocks and white line springs package already fitted - need these new mods to work well, car is used mainly on street but with track days around once a month.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!!

I'd start with soft/soft on the sway bars and work from there. If it under steers, tighten the rear. If it over steers tighten the front.

If you have a gtst then I'd go for as much caster as you can get without the tyres scrubbing when you turn the wheel. I go even side to side with no ill effects on the street.

yep. ask for max castor they can get. as for bars, me personally would start with front to full soft and rear to 1 step up from soft.

Thanks heaps guys

oh, as Im a suspension n00b - is it easy to under there and "tighten or soften" the sway bars?

[BHDave]

rear is a piece of cake to get to, just jack up the back and you're away.

Front requires removal of the wheels to get at the links easily (atleast in a 32) and it can be a little awkward getting the link in and out of the bar.

As the baron has eluded to, you'll probably find the car under steers with both bars at soft initially and so you will be tightening the rear up.

I set mine up medium front and back and then chuck the rear one on full hard for motorkhana stuff... really depends on how much grip your tires are giving you

tyres - true!

On the street, they hold well as for 1. I hardly take the car out and 2. no point pushing it too hard!

However I'll most likely be using those federals 595RS's which has been posted in this forum section!

Thanks again

done and done

Car feels fantastic!

They put the fronts on medium and rears on hard

and max castor

had to go through Galston Gorge (NSW people would know this road!) the other day - car never felt so alive!

Still going to take a bit of getting used to - as I did find, got on the gas a wee bit early and the rear stepped out - but that was silly anyway
