Swaybar suggestions for my build

[Norm Peterson]

Right about here is where a little TLLTD math might be helpful.

Are you going to drop some math on us Norm?

Yes, but also only goes so far when the transient response needs outweigh the steady-state.

I'd need quite a bit more input data than spring and bar rate tables.

Understood.

There was something in a short discussion elsewhere that pointed toward taking MOI about the centerline of the car at the rear axle line instead of about the CG for where 'nimbleness' is concerned. Might be something worth exploring a little further although introducing a time element probably turns things messy in a hurry.

The sway bar you need is Yokohama A052 tires.

Here is a great video showcasing the front swaybar & the benefits for those looking for more information:

Do you Have NM/mm rating for all 3 positions of adjustment for the front sway bar ?

I will see if I can get some more specifics for you ... but in the instructions, we provide the softer to the stiffer setting walk-up.

He's not wrong.

Maybe someday they'll come in 305/30R19.

I may or may not have some RTR tech 7s in gunmetal/charcoal coming, clad in 275/285 Falken Azenis FK510s ... I learned my lesson from running RE-71Rs on my GTI that 200 TW do not make good road tires.

R-S4. But it won't be as fast as the 71R's or the A052's.

That's ok. At some point comfort/treadlife outweighs outright grip (for me). I usually like the 280 TW range. The 71Rs are amazing tires. but at 45 it sounds like my GTI is a lifted truck on mud tires.
