If you did, how?

I want to do this for the purpose of reducing understeer. I am thinking that combining this with a rsb to get the most nuetral handling.

Opinions?

 

I see your theory, but I don't think that's a good idea. The Maxima is way to heavy up front to do without the front bar. Are there fwd coupe/sedans out there without a front stabilizer bar? The ONLY vehicle I have ever owned without a front stabilizer bar was a 85 Chevy Silverado... now THAT was a floaty boat.

 

I was reading in Car and Driver about a Mk2 CRX that was raced in SCCA that they removed the front sway bar and added a thicker rear bar. I have read this in VW forums as well. On a Max with stock suspension I can see that altough turn in should be crisper the car would feel sloppier overall. I'll be upgrading to Tiens soon so I figure that with a much stiffer suspension and lower roll center, especially up front with a FSTB that this would really help.

 

You do realize you are talking about handling characteristics for vehicles that are over 1000 lbs and 40"s different? What works for one does not mean it will work for the other.

 

Front sway bars are typically removed when you want the maximum performance for STRAIGHT LINE racing.

A friend of mine removed the one from his Ford Lightning.

The direct result is, however, that you will lose a great amount of control and steering while going around turns and such.

So this isn't too good of an idea if you plan to do any 'daily driving'.
