For me, I take it as roughly "a lot stiffer"... I should mention that mid-corner understeer was reduced with the stiffer swaybars, but I'd still like a bit less and for the car to be more pointable. Just don't know how far I can go redistributing front/rear roll stiffness before unloading of the inside rear becomes an issue for the Torsen. Especially given the car's unfortunate nose-heaviness... |

If my math and parameters are right, your car has higher front/rear roll stiffness ratio than any stock BRZ/86/FR-S, making it naturally pushy. To match the front/real roll stiffness ratio of the '13–'16 BRZ you'd need a bar that's 250% stiffer than the 14 mm OEM. You can probably go even stiffer, maybe up to 300% stiffer than OEM. Quote:
Depending on your goals and the budget it might be worth investing into a clutch-type LSD to address this, to "unlock" more possibilities to achieve the desired balance in the first half of the corner. |

No stock factory BRZ/86/FR-S had -3.5 front camber, that does make a bit of difference in "pushiness"... Quote:
I might swap the stock front sway bar back in. Or not... Car is quite driveable and capable of decent lap times as it is. Quote:
Ultimately I'd like to cut out a section of the car between the rear wheels and the doors to fix the weight distribution. Not exactly a practical solution tho! |

I'm calculating only the stiffness of the suspension, not factoring in the effects of alignment, camber curves, etc. They can be accounted for separately, but I'm not doing that right now. Quote:
More loose than any suspension setup I currently have in my spreadsheet. I suggest trying a ~+100% over stock front bar instead, such as Perrin 19 mm on the Hard setting, or Whiteline 20 mm on Soft, or Perrin 22 mm on Soft (these three provided options are in the softer-to-stiffer order). Quote:

For sure there are day to day variations, but it definitely looks like on Saturday I was doing a better job carrying speed into turns 3, 6, and 9. See the bottom plot for my best lap on 245-square from Saturday (green) and from Sunday (purple). Actually, looks like time lost in 9 on Sunday was immediately gained back so call that a wash. Big differences are Turn 3 and Turn 6 where, lost 0.25s in each of those. It is a subtle art and consistency is not one of my strong points.... |
