Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - Adjustable Front Sway Bar

you might think that, but it's not neccessarily so. Early S2000 tended to power-on understeer, then drop throttle oversteer. Essentially, since an anti-roll bar acts like a giant spring, it can help balance a car front to rear. My current thinking is that the rear of the GXP/Redline is "stiffer" than the front and I'd like to increase the roll stiffness in the front which effectively reduces it the rear (basically transferring weight off the front). This could result in increased understeer, but it might also make the car better transitionally.

As I said, my preference is for a tight firm car, which is why I might like to try a stiffer front sway bar.

But until this weekend, when I get the chance to drive the car with R-tires, I'm not going to reserve judgement.
