The stock ti is set up for massive understeer, taking the rear bar off would just make that worse. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 06-01-2013, 02:45 AM | #17 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Ft Defiance, AZ Posts: 686 | Fair enough, Im just trying to eliminate said massive understeer as much as possible but it wont really matter for this season since the SCCA in their infinite wisdom put the Focus ST in our class __________________ 1999 BMW 318ti 2005 MINI Cooper S | | | 06-01-2013, 02:54 AM | #18 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 | Can you do 1 sway bar? Maybe pick up a Z3M roadster (18.5mm) or M Coupe (19mm) rear sway bar and see how it changes the car. If you post a want-to-buy thread on bimmerforums z3 classifieds you can probably get one pretty cheap. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 06-01-2013, 02:57 AM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Ft Defiance, AZ Posts: 686 | you can do 1 bar, ed suggested that I find the biggest one possible and whiteline's got a 21mm for a couple hundred or so but I might just look for one of your suggestions first __________________ 1999 BMW 318ti 2005 MINI Cooper S | | | 06-01-2013, 09:00 PM | #20 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | Quote: Originally Posted by spidertri Probably not a good idea if stock.

Suspension tuning is dollar intensive.. When I tuned a S13/200sx went through 8 complete sets of springs and two sets of shocks before we had it totally dialed.. Car was sweet neutral, it slid the rear just very slightly before the front.. Now we are kind of starting over cause the SR20 is going to make a lot more power than the CA18..

Confirmation. My '98 Sport with Bilstein Sports, H&R Sport up front and Race in the rear with Canadian thick OEM Spring Pads, H&R front Swaybar for M Coupe, X-Brace, front and rear Shock Tower braces, and an H&R rear M Coupe swaybar that is no more, handles as if it were still there. I don't think I'm even going to put a stock bar back on. The car handles and grips even better than it did. I guess I will have to get used to not being able to swing the rear around on command. | | | 05-21-2018, 03:19 PM | #22 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2018 Location: California Posts: 19 | I used to run autocross in a mostly stock vintage Cooper 'S' Mini, with a local club with local rules. Had/has small camber blocks on the rear, still the tiny stock 10" wheels, w/ Yokohamas. Yours is an interesting question. Deleting a factory part could be explicitly fine with the rules, or it could be fine in the unwritten 'loophole' sense. Or not... | | | 06-16-2018, 02:45 PM | #23 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2018 Location: Lake Orion, MI Posts: 2 | I tried running with the rear sway bar disconnected at a time trial last weekend. And I liked it! In tight corners the car had more grip and I could put power down earlier. And the car still felt planted in fast corners. I run 700/900lbs f/r springs with Bilstein Motorsport shocks, 28mm H&R front sway bar, and Toyo R888R tires.
