It can't be helped, Mux - most people don't really get the concept of rollbars as something that can influence laterral behaviour of the suspension without actually stiffening it. I know i didn't for the longest time. Caster, roll bars and toe in/out seem to be the most often skipped suspension settings out there and that is quite understandable. Too often have i heard people comment on roll bars ranging form a setting semi-irrelevant to suspension reaction all the way to near-godlike power over it that should not be unleashed. Scary. I myself have it on my To-Do list after i get decent enough spring/damper combination and get my rear end sorted out, but everything with its time. I haven't looked into what there is on the market for the AE86 in the affordable segment, but i bet there are a lot of options. If people could share their experience/thoughts on such manners it'd be lovely. It would be best if we get some math into the whole ordeal and stamp the topic with a *WARNING - SCIENCE CONTENT* sign. I have, myself, fiddled with such settings in LFS and the like and the results were enlightening. From solid steering, coupled with the occasional flip-on-the-roof when i launch the car off a tall rumble strip to a comfy, grippy controlled roll that turns slide into grip as soon as throttle is applied to immense roll with spring bottoming and hopping around when i soften it even further. It truly introduces a great opportunity for fine tuning suspension, but reality is rarely as easy. Is there a way to adjust roll bars short of swapping the one you have for a stiffer/softer one? I'd love to rid myself of my 'armchair philosofies' and replace them with more solid knowledge, but i don't have the money to test all the options out and gather the experience myself.... luckily we have a forum...
