poly rear
I've ordered a poly Watt's link kit and will be ordering poly bushings for the entire front along with new shocks/struts. Is it true that the rest of the stock rear should be replaced with rubber for best handling? And is it also true that it's best to remove the rear stabilizer bar?
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help.
there are two different schools of thought on the soft/hard rear setup to keep snap oversteer in check debate, and I have never been completly convinced by either side.
I'm putting polly bushings and a RB roll bar in the back of my FB. I guess I'll see how it works.
Sorry for the nill info reply, it's just that I did lots of research on the same questions and found no definitive answers. There where people who's oppinions I valued on either side of the debate so in the end I figured I'd just try both over time and see which I liked better.

I've got poly bushings on the entire rear end along with the stock sway bar and rb springs. I haven't had any any issues so far with snap oversteer or binding. The poly bushings from the kit for the watts link and the control arms were pretty soft so maybe thats why.
