Re: Anti-sway Bars and Handling 850 95

Try going to an allignment shop, dial in a .5cm of toe out in the front (with the suspension on the 850, under load (i.e. hard cornering/braking) the suspension naturally gets more toe in). Dial in .5cm of toe in in the rear, this gives you better stability at high speeds and a little less understeer.

Not too sure if the caster can be adjusted, but if so, dial it too the suggested max. This gives you better road feel, but may increase the amount of force to exert, but hey, the power steering is too powerful anyways.

Unless you are lowering, just set the front to .5 degree negative and the rear neutral.

This set-up will probably give you the most neutral and communicative suspension set-up possible without increasing wear and tear or requiring aftermarket parts.
