The rear bar has 3 holes. Shorten the bar ("inner most holes) is stiffer, last (end hole) is less stiff.

Right?

Which hole is the closest to the stock bar for a starting point?

I know both are thicker bars.

Does anyone have the mm dimension of the stock c5z bars and the t1 bars?

Thanks.

The ideal thing to do would be set both sides to the middle hole, and stiffen/soften as needed to achieve balance. You don't have to set them the same on both sides, so you end up with many levels of stiffness to dial things in. Of course you do need to adjust the links to get a "neutral" setup when you make changes, but that's pretty easy in the rear.

And yes, shortening the lever arm stiffens the overal roll resistance, lengthening it makes it softer

You've got it right. The closest to stock will be the hole closest to the end of the bar - but it still will be drastically different from stock. I don't know the mm differences, but suffice to say the T1 bars are A LOT stiffer - even at the softest setting.

I am not a suspension engineer, but I would guess this setup is intended for a primarily track application.

It's likely that street driving or any kind of bumps with stiff bars would result in a loss of grip, true or not?

Not talking the springs or shocks here, just the bar change.


OTOH on a smooth track or similar course, you'll enjoy more grip.
