Default Really worried now need Advice

My local mod guy ordered a 22 rear swaybar for my 225 coupe and is to install on Friday. I have no plans for a front. He did not talk at all about one or that it would be tail happy. Am I making a big mistake? I have no other suspension mods all though I am planning a eibach/bilstien setup.

Default I think a 22 rear...>

Is a big change without balancing it out with a larger front. The 19 is about perfect with or without suspension mods. I'd re-think this install. Sounds like you got bad advice.

Default It can be quite dangerous. A great many drivers overestimate their ability...

...to instantly and correctly adjust for snap oversteer.

I think you'd be better off with the 25mm..

Default Absolutely second that

(not that Herr Schwing needs seconding, but a really loud chorus here wouldn't hurt if it keeps you and your car out of serious, annoying, why-didn't-I-listen trouble)

Default pros/cons:

25/22 versus stock/19

+less front roll
+better high speed stability

-understeers more
-reduced steering reponse

all in all 25/22 is better but not worth the $$$ and effort

Agreed. More balanced is the way to go.

Default Better safe than sorry....>

If he made that recommendation he was wrong. Negotiate.
