Ok, here is how the story goes. 1972 T Targa with 85 Carrera fenders and 16x6&7 Fuchs when I bought her. Put large (22mm front and rear If I remember correctly) adjustable sway bars on her, handled nicely but no autoX events to really push her (note, she has factory sized torsion bars in her but with new upgraded bushings). Then I went to 17x7.5&9 Rota Foxes with new and stickier tires (Kumho XS - love them) but I noticed immediately more understeer. Had the front sway bar tightened and the rear bar loosened. Much more balanced maybe to a touch of oversteer.

So, when I went autoXing in Packwood a few weekends ago with the Oregon and WA clubs (great 2 day event!), I got reports from multiple people that I was getting a little inner rear lift on a couple of quick and abrupt turns. Also, with some follow-up discussion, people said body sway was pretty minimal.

Is that ok or should I loosen up the rear bar some more, since it has a little more room to go in that direction? Also, my 915 trans does not have a LSD but I hope one day to get one in her.

Here are some picts of my car and the event:
