    Simon michaelmore is drifter....

    I have had 6 and 4.5kg in my car, changed to 7 and 6, and have purchased some 8kg fronts for when the car goes back on the road. Also have whiteline 18mm rear bar.

    wouldn't a thicker rear swaybar with a stock front one make it unbalanced are rather oversteery?

    not really what you want on a "hills car"

    it is used for sliding in the hills and very competitively too so the rear has to be firm to initiate from speed

    he runs high grip rear tyres for much bigger angles

    no delamed 13s here!

    ah fair enough, i though the idea of his car was to grip not slig.. thick rear swaybar would defiantly be the way to go.

    drove a car with 8 & 6 with a 18mm rear swaybar and it was so taily it was stupid!

    they where some ordinary 185's but with low power and an open diff it would slide by just turning and slight throttle, not with a lot of speed or particularly high front end grip either.
