ok, my rebuff...
In order to prevent traction loss at the rear axle under hard cornering, you either use lower spring rate coil springs and a heavier anti-roll bar, or stiffer springs and a lighter anti-roll bar.
If you use to heavy a antiroll bar, it can hurt traction exiting the corners. The bar will actually lift the inner tire off the ground in hard cornering.
Using stiffer springs at the rear will help control body roll without resorting to a stiffer bar.
So I presume, that adding the ATR bar to a G-Body with stock springs will be somewhat beneficial. But, if you've already upgraded your rear springs to a stiffer type, then putting on a larger sway bar could potentially hurt traction.
I also presume, that one reason why Global West basically makes their rear control arm/spring/shock package optional with a rear sway bar is because they've optimized the spring rates to where a sway bar isn't really needed.
- So, for $179.95, I'd rather spend that on stiffer rear springs and optimize the rear suspension frequency using the stock bar, before I consider changing it.
On another note, I was curious if anyone has tried to adapt or run coil-overs in a G-Body?
Lee, I'd like to go out a a large parking lot, or even a sanctioned autocross event and video tape your runs. This way, we can play them back and watch the tires and see when, where and if they come off the ground at any particular points during the race.
Wish I could trade you my car for a week or so. I'd like to get a feel for the changes you've made.
