sway bar physics

[rollbonez]

Here's an interesting piece on sway bars I found while doing some research on modifications:

I've always been told that a bigger rear bar with the stock front bar would best improve traction on our vehicles. This seems to be more confirmation.

I wonder if anyone has measured body roll in our cars to see if strut tower braces have any effect on cars either. They seem to do less than sway bars do for overall handling.

Any thoughts?

The GT has a beefier rear bar than the SE among other things . Someone at the factory must agree with ya ! :D

Great article. Very informative. They did mention that our car being front wheel drive, suffer from understeer and a rear sway bar would help out. I think I'm going shopping.
