The nice thing about mounting the end link outboard of the spring is that you can run a much softer sway bar rate to accomplish the same thing as a stiffer bar rate with an inboard mount. Since the mount is further away from the fulcrum (inner control arm bushings) it takes less bar rate to control body roll. This also puts less strain on the sway bar end link mounts and inner control arm bushings. While there is no doubt that this is a more efficient setup than the FE2/FE3 sway bar setup, if you already have upgraded your end link mounts and rear sway bar I can't really see a definitive benefit to swapping in FE4 parts...

Theoretically, you would benefit at the strip from the bar being so much closer to the hub. Think of it this way, the current sway bar stops motion say 1 foot from the source of the motion (the wheel). The new bar acts on motion 1.5 inches from the source. From the mechanical motion to the speed of the reaction the new bar style is superior. How much tie will be gained, I couldn't say. Which is better, hands down the new setup. |
To both of you,
so I have all the pedders stuff in my sig, and the BMR Rear LCA end link tab brackets...
I'm guessing I won't see much if any benefit from upgrading to the new LCA and a new aftermarket rear sway and endlinks?
