SWay bars with T-bars and oil cooling

Hello,
I posted this in the AX/Racing forum earlier without much result, so I'll try here.

I am installing hollow 22/29 torsions on an SC that currently has 19/26 t-bars with 22/21 Carrera stock sways and Bilstein sports.

I am considering putting hollow adjustable sways in about a 22MM rate front and rear.

Opnions on whether I should wait until after I drive on the new t-bars for a while?

Also: Am replacing the stock oil line with some finned lines. Anybody done that with the 28 row early Carrera brass cooler and seen good results with oil temps? Or did you replace the factory cooler with, say, and ER cooler in conjunction with the oil lines and notice a difference?

Thanks
Scott

You have a pretty good set up as is. There are advantages but I do not know if I would go to the expense to just go to 22/22's.

You do pick up some abilite to tune front and rear ballance and adjustable drop lengths in doing so which makes it easer to set your corner balance with out preload.

If you are just starting to track the car you may decide you want stiffer bars later.

If it helps, I suspect your new springs are about 100% stiffer than stock and will compress half as much under braking. The sways were doing about half the work in the corners with the stock set up. Now the springs are doing about 2/3's and the 22/21's are doing about 1/3.

This is just my opinion.
