Ever tried removing the front swaybar?

[why?]

So much that it is really noticeable? Ouch. I used to own a few Saabs and how you described it,
"I generally like the car to be right on the verge of oversteer, such that if I lift throttle in a turn, the back end will come around."

Is pretty much exactly how they used to handle. I'd love to get that handling with the Yaris. It just makes driving fun.

I don't know much of anything about suspension setup, but from what I've read of your writings, stiffer rear is much better for handling. I'm just starting to think what I need to do for that. One simple question though, do the fronts need to be that stiff for normal driving, or for just racing?
