I have read everyone that has installed the rear.
Has anyone installed both (front & rear ).
What are your findings, good or bad ?
Thanks

I heard that the front swaybar adds nothing. Instead it reintroduces understeer because the front is too stiff and is no longer compliant with the roadway. Stiffening the rear is what removes the inherant understeer. I know if I added a front swaybar to my madness/H-sport setup I would get understeer back.
