Help with NB sway bar upgrade
Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2014 12:12 pm
I am a new Miata owner. 2000SE, all stock. Maybe autocross in distant future, but for now just lively street driving and max zoom in the curves traveling with my local Miata club. Following club suggestion, alignment setup is max caster (around 6), -1.5 camber (front/back) and zero toe (front/back). May buy Koni sport shocks next year if finances work out. Don't plan on changing the springs.
Our club recommended that I install Racing Beat Tubular front sway bar and keep the stock rear sway bar. Before the alignment change, the car was sensitive to oversteer when trailing braking or trailing throttle when I found myself going too fast into curves. Still working on building experience on how the car handles since I don't like to take it easy.
I have read in the forums that no rear camber bias (usually 0.5-0.75 bias) will increase oversteer, but I am worried that the higher stiffness of the tubular front SB will result in too much understeer. Advise about the sway bar upgrade would be greatly appreciated.
