Terry,
The sway bar i have on mine is a Kmac one, it is a solid bar and is 18mm. It is
mounted to the rear xmember and the 2 arms point backwards and bolt into the
a-arms thru the rear bump stops!?!!? Is this similair to how your was setup????
If anything on the track i still have savage understeer rather than oversteer or
tail happyness. My front end setup needs some more neg. camber and more castor
to cure this i thinks.
Steve.
