I recieved an email fomr the other TSX forums and they are selling a Neuspeed front sway bar...I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a front sway bar...I love my Comptech rear sway bar and was wondering if this would be a sound investment or not...

 

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the handling characteristic. How is the handling with your current setup? Do you want more understeer, neutral or oversteer? Keep in mind adding more doesn't always mean better. If the car is currently understeer, adding a heavier front bar can make it even more understeer.

 

If you increase the stiffness of the front bar, you'll have to increase the stiffness of the rear bar by the same amount to keep the balance the same. IMO, a front bar is pointless in our car unless you are building a full on race car and have access to a track where you can experiment with varying thicknesses of bars for front and rear.

In other words, just go for a rear bar.

 

Even on race cars, some don't even run with the front bar on. For front wheel drive cars, it's kind of useless to increase the stiffness of the front bar.

 

Great info guys....I was wondering this myself too.

Thanks!
