You'll run a softer front bar anyway, so why not just stiffen up the rear.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm considering doing just the rear bar. I was at Mid-Ohio this past weekend and had a lot of understeer, but the stock suspension is okay for me since I only do a few per year. I'm looking for feedback from others that have kept their stock suspension and have added a rear bar like the H&R or GT3 one. How did it effect your overall driving experience. A stiffer rear bar should help dial out understeer.

POST 2Original post

a lot of understeer, but the stock suspension is okay for me since I only do a few per year do more track days and learn to control the understeer - easiest solution

POST 3Original post

Doing just the rear bar might help to a degree but you'd really want to do both and the cost to do the front is not much more. You'll want adjustable drop links as well. Also, you won't necessarily dial out understeer by stiffening up the rear. Loosening up the front will help quite a bit with that. It's grip you are loosing in FRONT. The other way without bars is to learn to trailbrake to rotate the car heading into the apex and then get the power down to gain traction to track out.

POST 4Original post

Where were you experiencing understeer? At turn-in (can't get the car rotated at turn in)? Mid-corner (car turns in fine, but you push away from apex)? Or at track out (you are running out of pavement)? -td

POST 5Original post

you could do A LOT with just messing with tire pressures too....as Tom asked... where was the understeer

POST 6Original post

Correct, also letting us know specifically where you problem is we can address it more diagnostically. Turn-in? Probably entering too hot and/or not rotating with trailbraking Mid-Corner? On the throttle too soon, off the brake too early or coasting Track out? Not on the throttle soon enough

POST 7Original post

all 3 Dell stated can be corrected w/o changing the car at all

POST 8Original post

Bingo! And that is money in the wallet for other mods

POST 10Original post

Job well done. Here's a smack on the *** for ya!

POST 11Original post

Hire a pro driving coach. Best mod you can do and best of all, it moves easily from car to car.

POST 12Original post

+1 Seat time and instruction are the two best things you can do in the MOD department. Have a good instructor in your right seat and you'll be amazes what YOU can do!

POST 14Original post

I have the same problem while autocrossing my car and I'm sure it's because of something I'm doing wrong.

POST 15Original post

i have front and rear sway bars from an x-74 suspension for sale. take offs from a 2000 narrow body.

POST 16Original post

I used to think my car understeered too - then I discovered oversteer!!

That's good idea and certainly worth trying. I would use the GT3 bar as it's not as thick as H&R's and has more adjustment holes. You'll run a softer front bar anyway, so why not just stiffen up the rear. I ran my 6-cup, Boxster, and current 996 race car all with the rear bar full stiff. You'll know it when you get too stiff in the rear...

POST 18Original post

Quotes source post: 7547690

Yeah, I discovered that too in the 996 at an auto-x..........wowzer!

POST 19Original post

Quotes source posts: 7547690, 7547859

yeah.... thats when the doors starts opening up, and realize we have so much to learn. The car really makes you think what your made of.

POST 20Original post

I fit both F & R H&R bars, lightest setting on the rear, on my '99 Cab. It controlled the "push" (understeer) I'd get going hot into a turn. Made the car a lot more fun to drive briskly. I drive on the street only. Road raced GSXR motorcycles for nearly a decade, got it out of my system. P-cars seem slow by comparison, but fun to drive none the less.
