Hi, you will just have to try the sway bars. the car will roll less(side to side) with them, the car should have better forward drive with them but sometimes in the 17.5 classes that is not really needed. if you are going to just try some small ones i would not change the springs, if you are going to try bigger bars i would drop a spring rate and see what it will do.

I noticed on the T3 the outside tire is at 30 degrees and the inside tire is around 20 degrees at full throw. On my T2 09 it's 30 degree on full throw both left and right but the inside on the left is 17 degrees and when I turn it to the right it's 20 degrees. What can I adjust to make both the same on the inside tire?

Thanks,
JG
Hi, i would assume that when your wheels are straight your steering rack (inner ball studs) are not perfectly on center. measure your steering tie rods and see if they are the same legnth or atleast within .5mms to start.
thats really the only thing that it could be unless if something is really tweaked or off.
