Default b5m sway bar

Hi guys,

we race outdoors on astro and the car is absolutely great to drive, but indoors on carpet i tend to lose the back end, i was wondering do any of you run sway bars? A guy I know said to get one and it will make the car turn flatter and stop the rear stepping out so much

Ive just started running one on mine at maritime and am liking it a lot.

Am really naming the medium stiffness one, which I think is white, but don't have the car in front of me to check.

It's worth getting the set and trying the different ones out to suit how you drive. It'll depend on the track and your car set up as well as to what stiffness will work the best.

I've used them a few times. Always seemed pretty good on a carpet track. I ran the green set the last time I used it indoors at Torbay.

On astro, they work well if there isn't a lot of sand or if the track is fairly smooth and has a lot of grip. I found it caused more trouble when the track is uneven.

Just trial and error really. Like everything else lol

I ran one at the oOple round at Bury a few weeks back. Seemed pretty good. Bury is pretty flat compared to the Mendip track, so it worked for me Good luck for Friday and the weekend!!
