handling

Post

I am wondering what could happens if you took your road car and for instance a ford focus and change roll bars to maximum stiffness?
How the car will behave in cornering ? heave? Pitch ? roll ? bump? One bump?

the first question is:Is stiffness restricted by the bar itself or more a thing of the mounting ?With all the rubber elastokinematics installation stiffness stiffening up a component can give surprising even contraintuitive results...or surprise surprise no effect at all...
