ArizonaGT said:I haven't talked to sam about the stiffness of each bar, but the rear bar that he sells (and we run) is 3mm smaller OD than stock. Stiffness is a function of OD to the 4th power, so the 22mm bar he sells is noticeably less stiff than stock (although I am not taking wall thicknesses into account). With the rear bar set on full soft (longest lever arm hole), the car will be very tight with a square setup.JScheier said:No you aren't
Strano's bars are, in theory, really close to the same size / stiffness as the OEM boss sway bars. Going to a square setup really only requires a slight increase in front or decrease in rear stiffness. Tightening up the front bar (full stiff) and leaving the rear bar on full soft (pretty much OEM stiffness) works very well with the remaining Boss setup.
You may have some additional tuning with the Steeda springs depending on their front to rear rate differences. If it retains the OEM rate differences, then this same setup would work with a square setup.
I run the rear bar at the shortest lever arm hole setting (loosest) with the square setup and the car is pretty much perfect. On one track here I switch to the middle hole.
Is that with the 7/8" or 1" rear bar?
