A 19mm swaybar is
19^4=130,321
(19x19x19x19)
A 24mm is
24^4=331,776
so 331,776/130,321 shows that the 24mm is 2.55 times stiffer!
Rule of thumb says
to reduce understeer you need a softer swaybar infront than the back
to reduce oversteed you need stiffer swayber infront than the back
Thus beware when swapping to stiffer swaybars!
Hope this helps some fellow understeerers [/b]
