Default UK align spec back to stock

After upgrading my sway bars, front CR 28.6 and rear 02 27.2 and the UK alignment I really find that the car understeers far more than I like. So, who's gone back to stock or near stock spec. I kind of forgot that the UK spec was meant to tame the car on the earlier models it doesn't necessarily mean balanced it means safer. So how many AP2 guys have switched back.

I also just put the new Dunlop Direzza Star Specs on and the grip is amazing.

That's strange, I don't think it's your sway bars, it may be the tires have a different stagger than what you had on before. Between manufacturers there can be close to an inch difference in stager for the same tire size.

You are correct on the tires but the fronts are definitely wider which would give more oversteer I believe. The rears are virtually identical to the RE050 in size. I noticed this even with the RE050's bars have been on for a while. I think I have just gotten used to the setup I have and I really notice how much the car understeers.
