Coilovers and sway bars - getting comflicting op's

I have tein coilover basic and next doing front and rear sways...

anyone see problems with this?

 

only problem i see is upgrading the front sway will keep the understeer there. if you want something to make handling more neutral, just upgrade the bushings and add the rear sway.

 

I am dumb...what is oversteer?

thanks

what bushings and where can i get them and the rear sway.

thanks alot

 

sorry, i meant understeer. edited to post to correct myself. anyway, i'll find some threads for you.

edit:

found a thread regarding bushings

oversteer is where the rear tires lose grip before the front tires when cornering--rotating the rear of the vehicle outwards

sway bars are a band-aid for improper spring rates--not necessary!

do your research on this site

 

thanks. I love to learn about my cars

 

ummm. you need a rear sway no matter what suspension you are running unless you like understeer

 

OH

This racing guru told me saturday not to get just one. You have to get the front and back.
He said the car would handle like crap if I only got the rear sway

??

 

you shouldl already have a front sway bar from the factory. most cars have at minimal the front some have both front and rear from the factory making the vehicle more stable.

 

The xB has understeer from the factory. Many cars come with understeer from the factory due to the fact that car makers dont want to sell "tail happy" cars to consumers.

The aftermarket enthusiast looking for better handling will upgrade his sways to do away with the understeer incurred by say an xB with a set of aftermarket springs.

The xB comes with a factory front sway and it does have a bar in the rear to stiffen the rear swingarm since its one piece and not indepent suspension. The rear end though, as stated already is soft causing the car to create understeer.

Progress offers a rear sway bar that is considered to be the stiffest among aftermarket offerings for the xB and people have raved about its performance coupled with the stock from bar.

Hotchkis offers a front and rear set up for the xB that people have not really hyped up that much.

I ran a set of Hotchkis sways on my 02 Celica and I enjoyed them alot. The front bar was adjustable. This was a good setup for that car but the Celica also came with rear sways from the factory.

There are some members who have used the Hotchkis front bar with the Progress rear and said that its awesome. I may try this combo when I decide to get sways.

 

if you upgrade the front even with the progress it is far tooo neutral/understeer for my tastes. every single car i've had was rwd so this fwd crap sucks total ****.....

 

u guys might want to mention what camber will do for your understeering problem...
