b'TECH TIP PAGETech Tip 30: Fine tuning the balance of your race car is easy with the right strategy &components.Ron loves to fine tune the rear sway bar for mid corner grip & balance.If you havent thought it out yetsway bars are progressive on corner entryfrom zero rate when the car is straightand progressive in rate as the car starts turns inreaching max rate near mid-corner when the steering gets to 100%. Sway bars are also digressive on corner exit from max rate back to zero rate as the steering unwinds gradually. The sway bars are one of the few tuning itemsthat affect the mid-corner roll through zone. Need the car to turn better here? Increase therear sway bar rate.Need more grip in the rollthrough zone?Decrease the rear sway bar rate. Ron designed our rear sway bar with 4 holes,.75 apart instead of 3 holes 1 apart for more fine tuning. Plus you can split holes, providingthe RSRT rear sway bar with 7 rates!If the bar Ron specs for you has rates of 161#, 183#, 210# & 244#by splitting the links, you add 172#, 197# & 227#.This allows you to fine tune the Roll Through Zone rear grip for near perfect neutral, balanced handling.Tech Tip 31: When we run suspension strategies for lower chassis/body roll, the right way is to run a larger sway bar in the front & stiffer springs in the rear. If we were to run stiffer springs in the front, we would reduce our precious front end travel that is key to the lower CG, better downforce & other performance benefits from a high travel suspension strategy.If we were to run a stiffer sway bar in the rear, instead of stiffer springs, we would simply be picking the inside rear tire off the ground when cornering. This happens if the rear sway bar rate gets close to the spring rate. So larger bar in the front & stiffer springs in the rear it is.With stiff rear spring rates, the spring can come out of its cup in some circumstances. That would cause the spring to ride on the coil-over shock threads & eat them up. Bad. Solution?Take-Up Springs & Dividers on the Rear Shocks. So, we include them in RSRT packages that will use stiffer rear springs. When the Green Flag Drops, the Bullshit Stops169'
