From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Only when they have a lot of rear spring rate.
Assess spring rates. Look at droop travel.
Spring rates are unknown. Mueller doesnt generally release them.
car handles well over all. feels very flat on the street.
I realize its considered "normal" to lift the rear tires.. but i want to find a way to fix it/cure it. more tire on the ground=better traction=faster times.

If i go back to the stock bar, it will understeer like crazy!
I loosened the rear sway bar 1 notch today and it understeered badly, and still lifted tire all over the place.
i had to run a massive amount of tire pressure to get it to rotate or not roll the front tires over. was running 41psi front and 43 rear.
car still didnt handle that great.
so i think if i remove the front bar totally, its only going to get worse!

This is also a reason I like the WL 24mm rear sway, it's not too big but helps just enough.

You're masking the understeering issue by using a big rear bar, which causes the inside rear to lift. Are you running the Robispec 27mm? Also, try to find out the rates as GT Worx suggested. If these are the Paul Gerrard/Vishnu Ohlins, I don't recall the rates being very high at all.

about 1 inch drop fixed, you cannot control your ride height with these. But the shock stiffness is adjustable on the ohlins. I think he said it costed around 1600, overpriced if you ask me. But he mentioned they manufacture the oem suspension for the brand new Lambo, the Aventador or something.
