sway bar quiz
once upon a time ago i read that if a person had the right spring rate ratio, proper springs, and the right amount of traction (in pounds) available that you could set up a chassis w/o sway bars.
any truth to this?

My question with respect to using sta-bar and softer springs would be how do traction bars fit into the systsem? If they do fit in, set no preload?Last edited by mosaic68; 04-17-2005 at 05:16 AM. Reason: grammar bad is
