When I do an a-x setup, I go with heavy sway bars first,
and see how the car handles. Does the tail hang out first, or does the front plow? I then compensate to make it driveable, and "tossable" at speeds.

I have had good luck with stock springs, heavy shocks and heavy sway bars. Heavy bars on both ends work differently than one bar on one end only. Heavy springs are not a substitute for sway bars, and sometimes CAUSE a loss of handling. I also do things with alignments, ride
heighth and roll centers to make the car work better.-Bob

Also i read that High Springrate springs up front + swaybar up front= bad, when you use high rate springs you would just take the bar off.... does anybody autox a hatch or know anyone that i could talk too so i can learn a thing or two about suspension setups?

thx
