Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Sway bar ?'S

[jimshadow (jimshadow]

I'm guessing that the majority of us don't consider the wheel dimensions of 
those days when we think about Gilles or Fangio.  I'm sitting here in awe as I 
would not really consider powersliding around on 5..5x15 wheels! 
These guys really were something special.

God, how I loved to watch Gilles Villeneuve in an opposite-lock?top gear 
sweeper. He did on fat tires what Fangio did on the skinny 5.50x15s of the 
1950's. Both absolute masters at their craft.

Two issues:

1) I doubt a GTS bar will fit a GT4 - car width.

2) In general, stiffen the back, more oversteer, less understeer.  Stiffen
the front and the opposite happens.  You may have to be careful
trying a stiffer rear bar as you could have, uh, interesting experiences
when/if you might have to lift throttle in the middle of one of those
sweepers on some back country lane.

complete set of sway bars with drop links from a 308GTS.  My understanding is 
that going to a larger dia. Bar in the rear is a very noticable improvement to 
the car in terms of understeer, but what annout the front bar?  If I were to 
replace that one, what would I notice?
