Default starting to get a little concerned... 22.1mm front swaybar, 22mm rear swaybar (itr)..

so.. come the new year, i expect to have the following installed on the car:
- H&R OE Sport (already installed)
- OEM GS-R Front Strut Bar (already installed)
- Koni Yellow's
- Rear ITR sway bar

i'm starting to get very concerned with the amount of oversteer i'm going to induce with this setup.. am i just worrying too much? i'm thinking after the koni's are broken in, i'll leave the rear on full soft, and stiffen up the front a bit in an attempt to balance it out. does this sound right?

any and all experiences are requested. i'd hate to lose my backend and smack up the car due to inexperience on my part.

thanx.

You'll be fine. The car is still nose-heavy and fwd. Go to a big parking lot and see if you can hang the ass end out. If you can, stiffen up the front shocks a bit in relation to the rears.

take it to a parking lot and get the rear to step out in both directions and try some hard stops, depending on the road surface you can some times have the rear end side step on ya. Just be aware that your car is going to have much less understeer and a greater potential for oversteer.
