After doing a thorough search and coming up with extremely contradictory stabilizer information, i've finally had the guts to ask about it on a thread =P
anyways... the stabilizer simply provides roll resistance when cornering right? and the stiffer the stabilizer the less roll there is? however, with more roll-resistance comes more, and quicker weight-transfer, which means the outside tires, after a certain stiffness, will overload and start sliding.
However, one thing i haven't been able to make sure of is which setting means a stiffer bar? i Know higher usually means stiffer, but some people don't seem to see it that way. This in turn leads to the question of high/low front/rear setting to control under and oversteer.
If a higher setting means a stiffer bar, then to eliminate understeer, we would want a low front and high rear setting right? that gives better traction to the front tires and allows the rear tires to slide more....
but many many guides claim front high/rear low to increase oversteer. Would this be becaus with a low setting in the rear, there's more body roll that that should help the rear lose traction? This has confused me for a while... any feedback appreciated. thanks
