Largus sway bar setup, suspension tuning question

[DJ_Sunrise]

Whats up yall? i fitted my largus sway bars on my s14, but i was wondering.. how much do i tighten down the endlinks, and which hole do i mount the front endlinks to? the farthest, or closest ones? also, i run my s14 with tein he's.. my first impression was that these sways sucked.. my tires screeched umbarably compared to my stock sways, i almost felt like i couldnt handle as well.. as far as tire pressure, and coilover settings go, what can you guys recommend?

Does it feel like the car is understeering or oversteering? Was it handling good before you put the sways in?

The explanation would take a lot more typing than I would want to get into but a good rule of thumb is stiffer sway bars in the rear increase oversteering characteristics while stiffer sway bars in the front produce understeering charchacteristics.

Sounds like what would happen if you bought the largest swaybars possible and were still on shitty small tires.

That could be the case. Normally a stiffer sway bar increases the forces on tire thereby increasing the slip angle. The amount of grip that you get depends on the slip angle. Slip angles are a property of the tire....so if you've got bad tires or are just running the wrong tire pressure...it could be that the limit of the tires is being exceeded.
