Interesting note - the guys testing the Xida coilovers with 949 racing were setting N/A track records last year in NorCal and SoCal on a 22mm front sway bar with OEM rears (14mm).

So a big "it depends" on this, or anything related suspension setup for that matter. |

With my coilovers and tyres, and alignment settings, stock are going well.

Another big variable is tires and weight. At my weight (2390# no fuel), I can only race on 225 wide hoosiers, so others may squeeze a lot more tire, or be heavier, thus allowing for bigger bars. But in general, once you get to "real" race car spring rates, you don't need as much bar as say, an auto-x-er who wants a 25mm front to keep the strut from moving.....All good, I'm happy to see somebody else who has some real spring rate under the car, it needs it!

This is like asking what tire pressures are best.

The original question set by the OP says it best; many people drive faster when the car is set to their preference. Don't forget that the sways are only one component of net wheel rate. |

I will say one thing. I wish Whiteline just welded a collar on the bar, the adjustable shaft collars that come with the sways are total garbage. I replaced them with a set of aluminum Rulands that actually work.

34 psi of courze, unless your on a courze, and dependant on tyres, oh and track temp, and whether it's raining, or your just Hwy driving looking for fuel economy, or at the drags.
And the string is exactly 2000mm long, dry.

You don't see the irony there? You're rounding up from 1999.87 mm

Edit: or 2187.084427 for the imperialist. Not as catchy though.

I mean...my strut moves Adjustability allows going from that to dealing with damp conditions (If you look at the tires, we're actually loading the front properly here). Final point - just make sure whatever you choose you have the tuning tools necessary to setup the car for whatever conditions you're going to be running in.
