Sway bars installed but have questions...
#31
Remember sway bars are in parallel with springs so a 35% stiffer sway bar may only mean the TOTAL roll stiffness is actually only 10-15% higher.
I never see members describing the amount of under/oversteer in Scientific [autoengineering] terms like the number of degrees in excess steering required per degrees of body roll............is 10 or 20 or 30 degrees of EXTRA steering wheel movement required to track [stay in lane] and at what speed.

Why would infiniti engineers make the sport tuned suspension more prone to understeer if that was the case?
There isn't a good answer to why infinity engineers made the sport suspension more prone to understeer, but our sports suspension does in fact understeer. Just as in any other car that understeers, we can make it more neural or oversteer by making the front (spring rate, shock, and/or swaybar) softer, while making the rear stiffer. With the hotchkis bars, i understand that the medium (2/4) front, and med (2/3) on the rear will produce a comfortable amount of oversteer. I'm just about to install mine and will post my opinion up shortly!

hey, everyone i just got my hotchkis bar
and planning to install it, but don't know which setting to go.
i saw this thread have been discuss about a lot about different setting.
So i just want to ask what is ur suggestion for me?
i have a stock sport suspension, and i also gonna install a front strut tower bar.
i bought the bar to help prevent the body rolls and the under steer problem that i have when made turn.
so far reading in this thread i come up with having the front stiff and med in the rear. I don't know if i should do that
any suggestion will help me a lot thanks

on my sedan, I have the front at medium/soft (2nd hole of 4) and the rear at medium. I can't completely be sure until I get it on the track, but in the few times on the street that I've pushed it, I haven't noticed any understeer. It's much more neutral now which is nice.

sorry for not mention wat type that i have
my is a coupe
hehehe
the reason i ask this is that i don't want to put the sway bar too stiff so that it might break the end link of the car. I don't track the car much, and i usually use it for the weekend drive more now. Hope this info will help on how to determine the stiffness of the sway bar. That's why i want to have more fun by adding couple mod to it, and this will be one of the fun mod i will have for the car. Since, i like better handling than horsepower.
thanks for the info
