The FSB on a gen3??? Jesus christ that thing is 50% thicker than my Whiteline RSB.

No wonder these things understeer like crazy.

FSB - Front Stabilizer/Sway Bar
RSB - Rear Stabilizer/Sway Bar

Yeah, its freakin MASSIVE. thats why no one makes an aftermarket version. ...have you seen the oem fsb on the gen4? looks like it was made out of a coat hanger

That's why you can buy Whiteline FSB's

I'm just commenting... I've never paye dit attention until I dropped a wratchet on it today and had to bend down and get it off.

It's as thick as any part of the rear suspension.... Just crazy thick.

If you get a bigger rear sway ... It should give your car a more nuetral feeling ... And can possibly help with alot more aggressive turn in ...

i have one... it does to a point... not a whole lot ...

You guys are totally missing the point of this thread...

So far only BLUEMEANIE and da_horse have actually grasped the concept.

if your going into the corner or at a road course... have you ever tried taking your front sway bar off ????

anuthaCamry · 02-06-2005, 01:35 AM

you revel in the size of the front sway bar.... ok

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that at least the 5sfe camry has no real difficulty with cornering... at least with my crazy ass behind the wheel driving on the sidewalls.

well, if understeer is the problem wouldn't an effective aftermarket solution be a THINNER front sway bar?

So no.
And why on earth would anyone do that? Dude my car is over 3450lbs without a full tank of gas. I couldn't begin to imagine the amount of body roll it would have on the OEM '93 suspension.

It would probably be at least as bad as that '93 corolla i use to have.
