So what is everyone running, and what's really working out there in the real world of racing?

Thanks in advance.
Back to OPs original question lol, maybe describe to us why you think you need more sway bar up front. The understeer on our cars is pretty bad, the sway does help us out a lot by helping the front end stay flatter and not roll, but the correction to understeer is really a secondary benefit of the sway bar on our car. I will probably get corrected on saying that, but at least in my mind a sway bar's primary function is to kill body roll(which can accentuate/compound understeer or oversteer-in our case it is understeer).


If the roll is what you are trying to cure, my best suggestion is take Clint's advice, it's pretty much the same advice Doran racing gives, and pretty much the same advice every track goer with a 370z I know gives. Stiff as possible front bar and then a soft rear to tune it in at let the car rotate. Stock our car always seem to have the nose pointing to the outside in tough corners, never really makes that good pivot like you see the Evo's doing
