Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
This is something I have long not understood. When I setup a car (car, not a truck) I usually want to error on the side of oversteer. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=oversteer.../i.ytimg.com/vi/EwmDdMzzDjY/maxresdefault.jpg
To that end, on my 245 I went with the IPD Aluminum skid plate:

That did a great job tightening up the front end.
25mm Sway bar front and stock (19) rear.
It makes for a very well balanced car with a touch of oversteer.
Another thing I have also done in the past is lowered front springs and overload rear springs which shifts the weight to be more on the front tires giving them more say in which direction the car is headed giving it better feel, and control.
On some setups I have completely removed the rear sway bar to help the rear end to sit more on the sides of the tires and slide around when you want it to. I have had my Porsche 911 Setup like this for ~7 years. Makes for a fantastic drive.
All that to say, IPD was very hesitant to sell me only the front 25mm sway bar and not the rear one, too.
This is the part I do no understand. Why would they want to force you back into an understeer setup?
Does that all make sense?

You are correct. Sorry for the short answer before, I was short on time and it’s really about personal preference.You're sure you don't have things backwards? Usually a larger front bar induces understeer and larger rear bar oversteer.
Car will have 40mm lowering springs and GAZ adjustable shocks if that makes a difference.
I'll try both setups with 23mm bar then (21 and 19 rear) and see what I like best. No rallyecross, just spirited street driving
@Ben: will you have the QSRC arms back in stock in the next few days or is there another delay? Thanks
With what else for suspension, LSD, what vehicle use? Stating that alone is near worthless. Come on, Ben!!!23/16 on my DD
Does not apply!my 940.
