This winter I pulled off the front diff and added a LSD. I have a set of adjustable H&R sway bars setup in the middle. I assume I'm going to have some more oversteer with the loss of the FWD. I was planning on getting out on the track before I mess with anything, but with the lockdown I'm home and bored. Does anyone have good advice as to initial setup with the swap?

 

I have an Eibart rear only. I started in the lightest setting, hole nearest the end and it worked well. After a month or more I moved it to the second hole and it's been there for 2-3 years. I'm RWD, no diff, no need thus far. I'm about 1 3/4" lower both ends on KW V1 coilovers too and adj rear upper dog bones I fabbed up with rod ends. My alignment is set to work well on the street and maximize tire life rather than cornering prowess. I don't track but at times push pretty hard in the canyons. I road raced 750 and Open Superbike motorcycles for nearly a decade and finished in the top 10 most years. Just mentioned that to give you an idea, as "pushing pretty hard" really doesn't mean anything. I'm a motorcycle tech by trade and have set up race bikes for years. I do all my own chassis tuning on my car too and have a pretty good feel how to get what I want.

I'd recommend start in the lightest setting on your sways. Trial and error, get familiar with what you have before going stiffer. If you're not happy, stiffening the rear should decrease front end push. Keep stiffening till you get what you want.

 

have no experience with any difference btw hr sways vs oem gt3 bar. but i've been rwd and using an oem gt3 bar for years - set to the 2nd position inside of the 5. this was how it was set for dual duty, but now i mostly take the longer drive for *******s and soup lines, so you'd have to set yours to taste.

the site just instantly edited out an 8 letter word the word for "things" you enjoy dipping in soup. ( hint ) they are sometimes white. proving only that AI is stupid.

that said. middle or thereabouts, is always best.

 

Just finished my AWD to RWD conversion.
Going to a track in 2 to 3 weeks to dial it all in.
Will let you know what change(s) were done.

 

headed to willow by chance? i wonder if they are "open".

i'm guessing not(?!) but i hope you get to track wherever you are. that will be a good "sign" for us all.

 

Going to the Streets of Willow with a private group.
