[QUOTE="twistedneck, post: 12589454, member: 130159"] shorter arms (farthest attachment away from the end) = higher roll rate. you can also change them independently and adjust the roll couple the difference between front and rear roll rate to control all the cool nascar stuff like entry oversteer and exit understeer. people are using larger and larger bars for oem cars now, and softer suspension springs. they want to control roll yet have a super soft cushy ride. Nascar uses huge carbon fiber tubes now and about 80% of the suspension roll is controlled by that not coil springs anymore. these things are the size of a drive shaft! rule of thumb, shorten the arms in front you reduce oversteer, shorten the arms in back you increase oversteer. shorten both you reduce total roll and roll weight transfer (usually a good thing to a point, because tires actually lose friction if over weighted from too much weight transfer). soften them all up i.e. put all to the end bolt hole setting and you increase total roll due to the roll rate decrease. stabars are pure tuning parts. try all the settings, you will be happily surprised at the changes you can feel even w/o going to a full tire side slip. when I changed from a factory 24mm gt rear bar to the 25mm boss rear, it felt like the rear suspension was jacking up mid corner, in reality it was just a little bit stiffer in the rear roll - that was only 1mm bar diameter. each hole placement is equivalent to about 0.5mm in bar diameter change. but the more you run it on the short arm setting, the higher the stress and loads, the more likely it is to break stuff.
