I was wondering the same thing until someone answered this in a thread. I seem to recall that what was said was that the sway bar unweights the outer tire such that the resulting total front tire traction is less than with the less beefier bar.

Triple-H

and who has the gendron front bar?

where would one buy a gendron if they wanted one?

Only thing I know about the Mugen sway bar is much lighter than stock one.. that is the benefit...!! I really wonder about the sway bar will do cuz someone said that stock one is designed very good already... so I think if you change the sway bar, you may make it understeer or oversteer...!! which I am not really sure..!! so, I need someone to explain this for me..!!

Triple-H

swaping out the front oem bar with the larger mugen (31.8mm) bar will cause the car to understeer more, hus reducing the tendency for sudden snap oversteer - as in backend whipping out of control causing car to spin if you cannot correct it fast enough - in simple terms.

Instead of a larger front bar, you'd want a smaller rear bar to increase traction out back and net an overall traction gain.

I'm wondering the same thing as RT.

If a larger sway bar makes the front lose traction, why buy a larger front sway bar? Doesn't this make your car slower around turns?

With that same rationale, why would anyone buy new thicker fronts and rear sways? Wouldn't that make both the front and the back lose traction, thus making your car slower overall??

I don't get it.

I think there must be a reason for this...!!

Sideways

I believe it basically holds the inside front tire and body down from the forces at the outside tire. Then add all the torsions and twisting to the other structures to find final affect on rear tires.
