Very strange indeed!
A thinner (softer) front bar will increase oversteer.
A thicker (firmer) rear bar will increase oversteer.
I'm curious to know if the new bars are made from a more rigid material. There are times when size alone does not tell the whole story.
Is there a metallurgist in the house?

What is also needed to understand this change is the 4-wheel alignment settings. If they have been refined for 2003, the changes alone to the sway bars will not tell the whole handling story.

strange ??

they want more oversteer again?

(i thought the reason for revising the MY2002 sway bars was to reduce oversteer)
