Anyone here into track racing ae82's?

What oldcorollas is describing is exacerbated by the fact that you have a GZE over the front wheels, you ideally need a much larger front swaybar than the one which is in there stock. The rear end tends to be a bit washy without it too.
Personally, my AE92 had a 32mm front swaybar but only a 19mm rear. Mainly due to the weight over the front wheels being increased.

Well I have the stock 23mm bar at the front and an 18mm adjustable bar on it's max stiffness ("22mm") at the rear. I guess going by your theory, I should re-lube the sway bar bushes and see how it goes.

After an incident last night, I'm even more interested in any info from people that race(d) these.
At 90% the car feels stable, but at 100% it's all over the road, oversteer, like you wouldnt believe. It's not what you'd call graceful and it very nearly ended in big tears. As it was, the car is damaged.
I guess I hadnt noticed till now because I've never pushed 100%, but I was following someone, and you know how that is. Anything they can do...

Back the rear sway bar off to the middle setting and see if that reduces the oversteer.Did that on my ae92 and it helped to reduce the amount of oversteer.Personally i like oversteer so i am putting it back on the stiffest setting before easter.

id recommend middle setting on rear bar when setting up, then might want to look at higher spring rates, especialy if racing the AE82, it sounds like you might have a mismatch in spring to shocker,shockers trying to do all the work, lower centre of gravity, seems like they like to run bit lower in the rear then the front too. yours being GZE might like different set up though.

Is this such a good idea in a FWD though ? :S Bit too little control over it for my liking.
