Reply to "Uncommon rear sway bar for Pantera"

Larry,

Sorry for being confusing. Yes, race car suspensions must be adjustable. Typically, components like anti-sway bars have a useful range used within their mounting system. It's good practice to keep links and levers in good alignment so the spring rate of the bar remains predictable. Once the alignment is overly compromised from gross adjustments it's best to change bars. I would think anyone racing a GR4 Pantera should have at least two bar sizes for each end of the car. The cramped space and short links don't help. My guess is that with those short links, moving the link from one tube to the next doesn't do very much. Increasing the angle of the link minimizes gain and side loads the bar which further compromises the effective bar spring rate. I'm not saying that it won't work, it's just not ideal.
