Improving Handling by Going Smaller
A couple of years ago, I upgraded my sway bars to Cusco 22mm units. Initially, I said the changes were subtle, but had few negative issues. The Bugeye was definitely flatter in the turns and the car seems to handle better. I don’t mind some body roll, but if the Bugeye handles better without it,…
