medium sway bar front, light bar rear
16-18 deg of caster??

ive tried 4/4/2, and i think im going to try 7/5/2 this weekend. tried different sway bars and no luck. any ideas?
Here's how I tune my sway bars... Sway bars have the biggest effect on the opposite end of the car.

Putting a light bar on the rear and a stiffer one on the front is hurting your turning ability.

I myself run the gold bar (thickest) in the rear and no sway bar on the front on tight indoor tracks.

Raise the roll center in the rear (drop the inner camber link) and that should help the car rotate a bit better also.

Try 5/5/3 or 5/7/3 on your diffs (you could keep the 2 in the rear also if you wanted).. Running heavy fluids in the front will not help the car rotate.
