Strano rear bar question
Strano rear bar question I'm considering buying a strano rear bar simply for less roll and weight savings, question, when I take a high speed turn hard(around45-60) I get a lot of understeer, the rear end is fine it's just my front that loses it pretty bad. Anyway will putting the bigger rear bar help with the understeer or make it worse? I just want 5lbs off the rear end really.

A larger rear bar will certainly reduce understeer on these cars. Assuming there's not another problem at work here.
I recently put a 21mm bar in my rear for the same reason and it worked perfectly. Now the front sticks so well it's hard to find the limits on public streets.

I did all my suspension mods separate, and the shocks alone had the most improvement by far. While the sway bars took away a lot of body roll keeping the car flat in corners, and gave better turn in, the Konis gave a significant increase in steering/chassis feel, dramatically changed the balance and how the car behaves overall. I was no longer sloppy, or jerky with snap over steer, sudden understeer.

With the prices of energy and materials which can and do effect production costs and daily routine activities, I agree that being particular with to part design is paramount. Can't always save weight, but where it works well, it does pay to do so.
