rear sway bar recommendations
He said that was WITHOUT proper bracing! Go reread it!
Bet green brick has some bracing or it was too long ago and we know better now.
A point without distinction. If you’re doing that level of suspension modification in
most cases you’d be adding basic chassis stiffening. And what’s the definition of “proper bracing” anyway? Regardless, having run large diameter bars on a rusty chassis for 70k street miles, the “tin can” comment is incorrect. Ideal? No. Fold up the car? Not even close.
The green brick had very little chassis work, subframe connectors and some gusseting of the K member at the steering box and LCA pivot tubes. There’s a synopsis of the build here
Mopar action green brick formula
By today’s standards the green brick is a pretty mild set up. Its level of competition was nowhere near the cars doing Optima or CAM-T today. It’s actually a good build for a well handling, mild street car staying with 15” wheels.
Picking up LF tire worked on ovals especially with old school Midgets. Now usually almost lifted works best.
Ah, and old school midget racing is exactly like driving on the street. Class rules apply the same, tires and road surfaces are the same, wings for downforce. Yes, totally relevant examples.
'Staggered Wheels' is totally different than 'Tire Stagger', so you need to use the Proper Terminology for what you are trying to say, which you've pointed out to others yourself, on other subjects!
Con of Staggered Wheels; spare doesn't fit both ends of car. Bad on long trips.
No, stagger is used just like that to refer to staggered wheels.
The stagger you’re talking about is almost explicitly used in oval track racing, which has very little relevant set up overlap with any street or AutoX car. And really, stagger means the same damn thing either way, it’s just what you’re referring to. Running a left/right suspension stagger isn’t a thing on anything other than an oval.
Post count not high enough? Decided to start arguments to raise it?
I don’t like to argue. But I’m not gonna let people post BS information about things they’ve never done either. This isn’t a thread about circle track racing, or drag racing. It’s about a rear sway bar on a street car set up for better handling. There’s quite a few relevant posts from people that have done that and run those cars for many decades in this thread, and some posts from people that clearly have never set up a street or AutoX car that way (despite having experience in other areas).
