More adventures in suspension tuning!

I installed the 944 rear TB's (still with 150lbs front springs, 19mm front AR bar and no rear AR bar). And the car actually feels somewhat balanced now, what a difference! The front is still quite a bit stiffer than the rear but with no throttle I can make it oversteer! This felt like a major accomplishment consider how bad it used to push.

Even just during the daily drive to work the turn in is much more responsive.

I want to try the 944 rear anti-sway bar as the next change. Right now if you force it into an oversteer situation the rear comes out very sudden and my hopes are that a rear anti-sway bar will make it more predictable at the limits. Does this make sense?

Further, after putting a few thousand miles on the 150lb front springs they feel a little stiff, like they barely move driving on the street. I'm thinking, since I want to go to a taller spring (or threaded sleeves) for more adjustment, 130lbs might be the right balance (and go figure it matches exactly front and rear what judgie is running on his race car).

Mike
