well, you would have been better off replacing the endlinks with something stronger than stock. Why you would think it handles better without the bar is beyond me...

And don't bring up the Time Attack car, i know it didn't have a front sway. But i understand why.

ss/tc front sway, ttr rear sway (although i may want something bigger), h&r sport springs....and im in business :D
although it still understeers a bit and i want to change that...i would rather be allowed to correct for over steer then be washed out and have no recourse for understeer

OTTP is te way to go. The street bar would actually result in a fairly neutral handling car, which is what you want. I doubt any of us here are delusional that they can drive like mario andretti, and honestly understeer is easier for an unskilled driver to recover from.

I plowed my moms minivan into a curb thanks to understeer lol long time ago.

I'm not claiming that I'm an amazing driver or anything like that. I've hit both over and understeer in my cars (06 lt with koni inserts and sportline springs, 09 ss stock) I much prefer oversteer to under.

The whole reason for manufactures making cars have understeer than over is because in general cars preform better in frontal collisions.

They also are less likely to roll longitudinally(tail over nose) than laterally(left over right or visa versa) in the event the tires impact something which may make the car want to flip/roll.

thats wat i mainly what I want to get rid of is the body roll. I believe eibach springs drop the back lower, to help distribute the weight better.

any other input before i buy?
