Any feedback on front sway-bar changes with the Sport-Plus suspension? Has anyone tried the smaller bar from the standard Sport suspension?

 

I think there was a discussion about this in the G-stock forum.

Using a smaller front sway bar can help since we are not allowed to beef up the rear.

There are benefits and drawbacks, so I am just sticking with what I have for now.

 

I have the non SS+ front bar on my car. The softer front end with the beefier rear gives me more rotation and makes the car more neutral. I race in the San Diego region, if you are local you are welcome to try it out at a Qualcom event.

I haven't gotten my Mini yet (it's supposed to be here Monday, though!), but to me, it seems like the Mini has the marks of a car that would benefit from a stiffer front swaybar - namely, little/no camber in front and a suspension that doesn't gain any camber under compression.

But I'm probably all wrong.

 

At first I thought I would change mine out the the standard bar... but I now do not think it would be worth the draw backs... (mainly slaloms)..... but I also doubt going stiffer than the SS+ bar would do much good. In the end going to the standard cooper bar may be the way to go but that will greatly depend on your drivein style...
