Taken from matt m's post on the CaymanClub.net

 

As noted in Carroll Smith's Engineer in Your Pocket chassis tuning guide,

Too much anti-roll bar: overall
  • Car will be very sudden in response and will have little feel [/*]
  • Car will tend to slide or skate rather than taking a set - especially in slow and medium speed corners [/*]
  • Car may dart over one wheel or diagonal bumps
Too little anti-roll bar: overall [/*]
  • Car lazy in response, generally sloppy [/*]
  • Car is reluctant to change direction in chicanes and esses
Too much shock: overall [/*]
  • A very sudden car with harsh ride qualities, much sliding and wheel patter [/*]
  • Car will not absorb road surface irregularities but crashes over them [/*]
