    wheel rate vs ball joint rate

    A few of the internet calculators spit out BJ rate, but I'm assuming this is not the same as wheel rate if the center of the contact patch is not under the BJ. Do I just re-calculate the motion ratio from the wheel center?

    'longitudinal' sway bar?

    I was wondering if a 'sway bar' conected front to rear on one side would give an advantage on circle tracks where you are braking and turning. The idea would be to transfer weight to the inside for braking when the nose dives , and maybe it would help with powering out also. Screwy idea? Illegal?
