Sway Bar recommendation

[bigjae46]

I run a stock bar with no rear bar. I am at 52/48 weight distribution, no rear bar helps with putting the power down. With a ZF 4 clutch LSD the rear end is far more controllable. I do want to put in a Hotchkis bar but that would be for weight savings.

I use the Bimmerworld end links. I found the BW hardware to be problematic...possibly a user issue. I've since installed some ends from McMaster Carr which have been trouble free and are much cheaper.

Ground control tore out of mine

GroundControl bar tore mine out too. It's now reinforced and we're back to happy life.

I'm looking at a re-valve to the dedicated track kit. So going from
F. 400lb - 700lb
R. 630lb - 900lb

Your LSD is that a drexler?
I'm looking at getting the OS Giken LSD.
So far the rear end feels pretty good.

Is 900 married or divorced?

What's the reason you are going that high all around? You will be giving up a lot of grip. Are you going full aero? Sounds like you are prob not using slicks, given you are playing with brass bushings.

Need more details on the car to attempt to give a reasonable answer. Ride height, weight, etc. At those rates you might not need a new bar and can remove rear bar like Jae and fine tune over/under behavior via dampers and tire pressures. Once you get mechanical dialed in you can play with aoa on aero if going that direction (although again, doubt given brass bushing "upgrade" with stock brakes).

You'd need a beefy front bar if you were going more flat ride or keeping front rate very low, to balance out roll couple and over bias to get it back to neutral.

ZF with a 4 clutch conversion.

I have Hotchkis kit, but one of the rear end links gave up after 2k miles (sure, abusive miles here on MI roads).

Reading yall makes me worried, what's this "tearing" about? Should I be worried?
