It's a good difference. The car turns a lot tighter and it feels like the rear end is finally oing something. The body roll can only be cured with better springs/shocks.

The only way you're going to end up with snap oversteer on the highway is if you're doing something absolutely ludicrous. Something so ludicrous that it probably would have happened without a sway bar.

Well, when you have an "Emergency avoidance maneuver" It will put the suspension to its limit. So I will know what its going to do in a fast lane change, I test it when there is less traffic by slalom-ing about a half lane out of my lane at about 70-75 MPH. With the stock setup with 15" bridgestones with 29psi in the rears, the rear will start to slide, wag or fish tail about a couple inches during this maneuver. I would imagine if I stiffened up the rear, this might become unmanageable and the car would have UNSAFE emergency lane change capabilities. - Anybody want to try and report back, or are you uncapable of advanced driving?
