JamesVTS 19 January 2008, 15:25 Stiffer, will make the car stiffer in general, bit more back end happy if stiffer, softer slackens it up, depends on your driving style......... cster 19 January 2008, 15:59 Stiffer, will make the car stiffer in general, bit more back end happy if stiffer, softer slackens it up, depends on your driving style......... So that if I stiffen it, on the balance, the car should be more inclined to oversteer? dunx 19 January 2008, 16:02 Best bet if you like to play with things is to get an adjustable bar ( Whiteline has three positions ) soft is a bit stiffer than standard, not to jiggly over ridges in the road. Middle is good for road use, and if you "throw" the car around a bit... Stiffest is ace on a track, or if you are a really smooth driver on the road too. The bar reduces roll at the back of the car, and also the front, this allows the front more grip, whilst increasing the tendancy to oversteer. Stiffer allows more oversteer !

Hope the cars running well ! 911 19 January 2008, 19:44 You will be pleased with the effect of that lot. Your chassis must be close to mine now? andythejock01wrx 19 January 2008, 19:53 I find the stiffest setting best for the road, in combination with my Prodrive springs. Like the handling like that - just a teeny bit oversteery, but very sharp overall. :cool: Doesn't take long to change it back if you don't like it. :D dunx 19 January 2008, 20:42 Oi ! 911 did you mean me ? The chassis may be close, but the driver is miles off ! LOL Just wondering if a Whiteline rear link kit (x4) is best done before any power crazed exploits.... DunxC JamesVTS 20 January 2008, 18:38 Hi James how's the wallet ! Mine's just ordered a subframe and diff lock kit.... DunxC P.S. Hope the cars running well ! ha ha alright dunx! its ok, bought a td05, saving for a remap now lol, whiteline adj links now too ;) 911 20 January 2008, 18:48 Yes, you Dunx :D You must be faster than this old fart? There is a little trick to play with the Whiteline rear lower 4 bars... cusco kid 20 January 2008, 18:58 Oi ! 911 did you mean me ? The chassis may be close, but the driver is miles off ! LOL Just wondering if a Whiteline rear link kit (x4) is best done before any power crazed exploits.... DunxC the whiteline x4 rear bars are worthwhile mod you also fit the toe-lock kit at the same time to stop any movement after setting .the toe is set by the adjustments on the bars. the bushes are poly and larger than the normal subaru type:thumb: dunx 21 January 2008, 22:55 Cheers kiddo ! Do you know where I could source the Cusco adjustable trailing arms ? Due to certain operator induced suspension problems at the rear.... oh alright a Bosnian in a scrapper forced me off the road ! DunxC P.S. 911 pray do tell, if it's naughty PM me then I'll post it here ! :lol1: P.P.S. I'm so old.... the road signs were in Latin when I passed ! 911 21 January 2008, 23:40 Don't believe you! David at API will have some rear arms for your car. ps: There were no road signs when I passed my test....:D |
