Rear sway bar on a first gen
yes or no? I know every car, every setup, is different but I have run back to back runs on course ( one with the bar connected and one without) and I don't know if it was just my imagination but the car just felt more stable to me with the rear bar hooked up. Some say the rear bar will create more pressure on the front and try and push through a turn creating oversteer. I didn't notice it.
Opinions?

For me I find that bars almost always make the car "feel" faster and more controllable unless you really go too big. My lap times did not align with the feeling though. Too much rear bar (rear wheel rate actually) will cause oversteer as it takes grip away from that end. When I was less experienced I would put cheap Nitto 555 tires on the car for testing. You can really see how the car is balanced that way and learn a lot about how things effect the handling when the tires give out before your talent does. Not saying you are inexperienced as I have no idea your driving level.
