Dan Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 So haven't done much to the handling on the Legacy yet, new tyres going on at the end of the month(Falken 452's. good or bad?) have it sitting on Tein S Tech lowering springs that dropped it 40 mm all around on the JDM Bilstein struts. Is there any other minor tweaks i can do to improve handling without sacrificing comfort. She is sitting nicely now and don't want to go any lower. Had Coilovers on the Altezza and dont want to go down that route again. I heard with the 4WD's just adding a rear uprated ARB can help a lot. Any point in front and rear strut bars either?

Noel Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hello Dan, maybe elaborate on whats negative with the handling as it stands? The last day when you floored it she squatted at the rear like a dog ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 whats there to improve on a 4wd..... less body roll maybe. @Noel, i presume squatting like a dog is a bad thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anees Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 If Roll is the big problem, then I think you have answered your own question - get some uprated AntiRoll bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure mate. Why would you do that anyway? Surely you would replace both front and rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazz33 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 You would only buy and replace in pairs anyway ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 452's are very good. Personally i like the rear to squat, reason being this helps to apply thrust without the tyre saturating, but the squat needs to be within reason. As for the ARB if you just upgrade the rear then corner-in during weight transfer the front will have more roll generating a geometric gain, historically she will over-steer.

CIH Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 IIRC 4wd generally suffers from poor turn-in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I just recall reading it somehwere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Most times the 4wd has next to no camber or toe front and rear, the very low castor is more than enough to produce neutral turn in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
