    Spring rate bar combo?

    With the added weight of the S52, plus the roll bar I installed, if I run a 440/650 combo, are the 26mm front and 22mm rear IE bars too much?

    Would the stock bars be able to balance the chassis?

    That's a very broad question. Look at where mazur was a little over a year ago.

      Jay at GC came up with the this combo for me since I had already purchased the UUC bars 22/19.

      550/750 with no rear bar. Didn't get a chance to auto-x/track it, but it felt very good. Neutral if slightly biased toward oversteer.

        How is it on the street over tar strips and manhole covers set below pavement level? Is it jarring or compliant with those spring rates?

          I didn't think it was too bad, and that was on 17" with 40 series tires.

          But then again, I'm willing to sacrifice some comfort for performance.
