suspension lean
I just started Auto X and realize that I am getting way to much lean on the corners. I run a 2000 vert with adjustable suspension which I run on the hardest setting. Was looking at the pictures of her in the turns and was surprised at how much lean there was.
This is a daily driver and I don't intend to make a race car out of her. But I would like to do better at the Auto X track.
Would I see a big improvement by switching to a different set of sway bars? What are your thoughts?
I would like to stay in the Stock class.

I believe per SCCA rules only one sway bar may be replaced and still be in a stock class. Once you replace both sway bars you would be bumped into SSP i believe. The stock size is a 23mm any size up from that would be an improvement but will vary depending on courses and driving style so you need to find one that fits you. I have a 1999 corvette with C6 Z51 sways and shocks and it made a huge difference regarding body roll. If you were to change one change the front. With a stiffer bar you might push through corners a bit more so you might have to adjust camber (more negative). Also adjusting caster would help as well (more positive to achieve more dynamic camber). If you need help with the alignment you can contact me and i can send you a link from David Farmer...a little off topic but might help you.
Hope this helps
