I am  wondering how the heavy sway bar on front differs from the heavy sway 
bar  on the rear. I run a heavy bar on the rear of my late model and get  
increased steering (or oversteer) when autocrossing. Does the heavy front  
bar do the 
opposite?

Thanks, Ken




Ken - It is a matter of Balance. The Stock late model was set-up for mild  
understeer. (Safer for the untrained driver). By adding a thick rear bar you  
changed the balance toward oversteer. By changing your stock front bar to a more 
 effective front bar, you would be tilting the balance toward understeer 
again. -  Seth
