30/21mm sway bar setup? too goofy for the road?

I have 4 very bald tires(no tread jsut rain channels), and I enjoy tossing the end out and giving it a little power slide, its really hard to do on the dry(lack of hp) but barrels of fun in the semi wet to very wet conditions. I am starting to get some 4-wheel drifts down pretty well.

I currently have 32/21mm sways on but I still have my stock 30 mm sway laying around and was wondering if it woudl be really crazy in normal driving, or no worse then I had my fornt sway off for a week or so.

I might rent a camera from campus and get soem videos gong as well

Be careful.

You will end up with massive oversteer.

Eric you're a crazy fool!


If it's your goal the steer with the back instead of the front, the soft front / stiff rear will definately help you there. Are you trying to get a video of a Camaro lifting the hind leg like the VW's do at the autocrosses?

hehe was't really the plan for a racing situation...

more of a fun situation... I am getting pretty good at controled drifts in the rain, a few in the dry, jsut I do not always have the power to get it going in the dry, maybe a sway bar combo might help. I was actually thinking of making a video...

And lift a tire? Think my car has ever had a tire with enough grip to cause it to lift a wheel?
