Anti-sway Bars and Handling 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Evans on  Mon Nov 13 14:49 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I've bee told (by a Honda driver) that handling during autosports (autocross, time trials) is improved by loosening or removing the front anti-sway bar. I also read in the Volvo Performance Handbook that larger front and rear bars will a) reduce body roll and b) decrease the amount of understeer. I'm interested in reducing understeer on my '95 854 Turbo - actually, inducing enough oversteer to allow the car to rotate 9 or 10 degrees during hard cornering.

Has anyone experimented with loosening the font anti-sway bar? How about the ipd anti-sway bar upgrades?

TIA
