"Doing it wrong" is the title of this autocross photo. No rear sway bar at all and some dips -- very shallow -- on the track.
Sharp turns and high speeds causes excitment.

Re: The Z-Bar Illustrated
I haven't found any pics of a shimmed z bar or anyone who sells the bushings to do it?
I am probably not looking in the right spot.

You have to think "hardware store" rather than "auto parts store".scrap wire wrote:I haven't found any pics of a shimmed z bar or anyone who sells the bushings to do it?

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Re: The Z-Bar Illustrated
resurrecting a dead thread...
Thinking of build a Z bar for my oval. Seems to me that if the compensator does half the job, why not make a Z bar that does the whole job?
What diameter/leverage (stiffness) would you say would be the right do you think?
I guess this has to match front sway bar right? So imagine it was matching a 19mm front bar... again I might try and bend up one for myself. What do you think? (beam is narrowed 40mm so it needs to be custom)
