    Ireland Engineering sway bar question...

    I have the bars on the 88 325 and it seems the car is edging towards oversteer. Even a little gas around corners to the S52 and it almost seems to want to start coming around on me. I have the front bar in the middle postion, rear bar mounts right at the ends of the bar. I have the E36 rack on it too and sometimes I almost cut corners too sharp...

    I've lowered the car approx 1.5", and am running crappy tires on the 14" bottlecaps.

    Am I wasting my time trying to figure it out now or should I wait until I get the 15's with good tires on there?

    Wait for good tires...

    Once those are on you need less rear bar.

      Setting the front sway to the stiffest position will shift a bit of weight towards the rear and reduce oversteer. Taking a bit of pressure out of the rear tires will also help.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        also get some good sticky tires on there. right now it sounds like you have too much suspension and not enough tire.

          What springs/shocks are you running? What IE swaybar combo do you have?
          The grilles really distract you from the fact that someone took a sledgehammer to the front end.
