Sway Bars
hey guys i was just wondering. I wanted to reduce the tendencies of oversteer so i was just wondering if i should get the white line front sway bar or a softer rear sway from like an AP2 or CR. i have a MY00 lowered on Tein's. Thanks.

both options are a step in the same direction.
you can also start with low cost stuff such as increasing rear tires air pressure and setting more camber at rear axle.

in all my cars when i increase pressure i get better traction.
i'm not talking here about crazy PSIs - but about going from 32 to 36 or 38 (all on hot tires). i never went over 39.
so from my expirience:
more pressure at the rear = more traction in the rear = less oversteer

if we're talking from personal/subjective aspects we need to say that "doesn't make sense logically" means "your logic".
can you elaborate why do you think it doesn't make sense?
have you tried to increase tire pressure and got opposite results from what i got?
as to pure logic - there is an explanation why more pressure gives more traction.
once a racing instructor tried to explain it to me because it's indeed goes against "street logic" - but i did't got it so don;t ask me to explain why it happens.
as to my expirience - my last 5 cars do exactly the same. so i'm going with that.
it's a logical thing to do, isn't it?

I would think that with a higher psi, you'd lose some traction. IE; drag cars run lower pressure so that their tires can hook up better. But that's dragging. However I thought this was a genreal rule that lowering pressure increases traction.
