What problem are you trying to solve by changing out the rear swaybar?

I added the Comptech rear sway bar and IMMEDIATELY noticed more oversteer. I mean her ass was ALL OVER THE PLACE. I really had to change my marks and approach speed. I was ultimately faster at the end of the autox event, but it was a big surprise to start my day. It could have been from cold tires, cold temps in the a.m., dust on the course, the new sway bar, or a combination of all four. I am going to try a couple less pounds of PSI next event in the rears to see if that helps.

Larger front sway bar = more understeer/less oversteer.
Larger rear sway bar = less understeer/more oversteer.

I have had the Comptech adj. front sway bar for some time. I got use to that quickly. This last event was the first time I had driven the car with the new rear sway bar on. It made for a fun afternoon of learning. Can't wait to try it on a track somewhere/ sometime.

I thought it would help out. I guess it just added to the equation.
