20.6mm fsb/23mm rsb?

[38SHO]

I just got a 23mm rear swaybar to replace my 21mm swaybar. Im pretty certain my front swaybar is 20.6mm... I run an auto transmission........

has anyone run this setup?

I've heard that a smaller front is better on the open differential and low speed turns. Since im running a small front a 23 will still provide a better balance then my previous setup, This is what I expect at the least. Also I plan to run Intrax springs so I won't have to rely so much on THICK swaybars to handle body roll. Im using them more as a fine tune for the chassis characteristics.

20.6/23 with TPR bushings is the setup I currently have on my '95 ATX. It is fairly well balanced....it has slight understeer, but is not too far from neutral, and can be induced to oversteer under the right conditions. I feel like it is a decent balance for a street-only car...enough understeer to keep out of trouble, but not the typical FWD understeer plowing. Most people go to thicker bars for the additional roll control, but personally I think the 20.6/23 is a decent setup, I definately prefer it to the stock 20.6/21.

alright thanks, im gonna have fun putting it on later lol

I don't have bushines for my swaybars yet, just running some stocker stuff.

the bushings from the lower end link on the car I removed the bar from had some decent stock bushings that were nicer then mine and will run those for now.

BTW, if you decide to go with TPR bushings on the center links, they are not made in 23mm...what I did was bought a set of 21mm, and reamed them out a little with a spade style wood boring bit, 7/8" if I remember right.
