21mm vs 22mm Rear Sway bar?

[Guest]

"There are two types of understeer, one is a "technical" understeer and the other is a "perceived" understeer. They are related but aren't the same. The "perceived" understeer is all about how the car becomes more understeer the faster you go on a given corner. There also different "phases" to understeer, too. The first is as you turn the wheels, and static toe influences this a lot. Running less toe-in or some toe-out on the rear wheels helps suppress this and costs nothing, but be careful because it degrades high speed stability, especially over imperfect roads. The next is as the car settles into the turn and is greatly influenced by dampers. More rebound damping at the rear end is a great way to help suppress understeer here. The third phase is once the car is settled into the corner, and traditional learning about big rear anti-roll bars applies here. Anything that gets the rear bar working earlier is also a good thing, like stiffer ARB bushings and so on. The final phase is as you accelerate out of the corner"

I was just saying.. this is what i changed.. this is the effects i observed. and its 10x better than it was, if still a little understeery.

The whole process is not finished yet thats for sure

your remaining understeer is probably due to wheel camber rather than arb tuning. if you want to corner quicker you need to look at getting more caster or at least running more static camber if you dont have much already

Ok cheers mate! anti lift kit can help with the caster right?

Was aware only using road tyres for testing and they are just letting go when pushed.
