I'm pretty far from being an engineer too, but I just read some books and felt like trying to apply it to an interest of mine. And I hoped someone else would get something out of this too.

Sway bars had occurred to me, too. The suby I mentioned above ran 20mm bars front and rear. But I never measured their dimensions so I dont know the rates of the bars. The were just stock sti bars I believe.

I got the book Carl. I'm still getting into it. I'm about where he starts going into 'string computers', bumpsteer, and roll centers.

And I stop and think, isn't there a computer program for this shit?
