i'm sure the understeer will go away once you have the rear sway installed.
wouldnt the understeer get worse considering the rear sway will be larger than the current one?

from what i've experienced ... going with a bigger rear sway bar typically increases oversteer.

Or ... Maybe i installed mine upside-down and it had an adverse effect!

I get that backwards all the time too. Counter intuitive, but larger bar at the front gives more understeer and larger bar at the rear gives more oversteer.

So can I effectively decrease understeer by installing a bigger rear sway? I'd like to take out a little understeer, my car suffers from a touch of understeer.

... WG's mom hasn't seen any dragon video's has she?



I prefer mild oversteer and only when it's gradual ... progressive.

Radio ... are you meeting with the group tonight at weekly meet? I think i will be there also.

stiffening the rear is a PIA, but that sounds like a good idea.

Now you need to take it to a performance shop and have them align it. They can do euro specs if you want. That seems to be what a lot of people do.
