I may be completely wrong here, but with a rear sway bar the understeer is greatly reduced, wouldn't adding a front one almost counter what you are trying to accomplish with one in the rear?

View Full Version : Is a front sway bar really neccesary?

From their website: "* Volkswagens have between 65-70% of their weight over their front wheels which causes understeer. Larger front sway bars cause more understeer and unload the inside front wheel during hard cornering resulting in wheelspin. This is a major handicap, especially when autocrossing. Shine Racing suspensions are designed to minimize understeer and increase grip."<ul><li><a href="http://www.srsvw.com/parts/suspensions/">Check them out, srsvw.com</a></li></ul> |
