Default swaybars mod and tire size?



Anybody with insight on road safety with that mod?</P>


Will the car become hard/unsafe to drive <IMG src=smileys/smiley18.gif border="0">, sliding
beforeit feeds back the loss of traction to the driver
in normal street conditions with my car configuration
below?</P>


Any rule of thumb for tire size and sway bar stiffness?</P>


I am thinking of adding a pair (16mm+22mm) Mopar
swaybars as described in neons.org. I have
195x60x14 tires, and standard touring struts which
I'd rather not change. I've been told that changing
swaybars, I'd want to get wider tires to improve grip
to match the roll. Wouldn't 195's be wide enough???</P>

My car is a 5-speed neon sport '95 and I'd like the body
to roll less when I turn. It already has the touring
swaybar... but I drive like a nutball in the hills <IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">.</P>


Thanks!</P><edited><editID>sonyhome</editID><editDate>37971.8705902778</editDate></edited>

If your looking for less body roll then you might want stiffer springs. Polyurethane bushings will also help.

you will need to get stiffer springs and gas shocks adjustable is better like tokico,kyb agx, kyb gr-2....i have 205 45 16 on my neon right now and it does help you will need wider tires because of the stiffer swaybar also get strut tie bars front and rear. you will need wider though its not gonna be pretty when u look at the wear on those 195`s after a swaybar mod and some springs your best bet will be springs then tires then shocks im movin up to a 215 tire once i run nitrous.
