Understeer, oversteer, or nuetral
I have the Sport model. I know the our cars have a 50/50 wight distribution, but I'm considering a rear sway bar from Racing Beat. Will that make the car have too much oversteer?
If so, then I may consider front and rear bars. I don't like the excessive body roll and rear would take care of that, but I will be doing about 2-3 HPDE days per year and don't want to have the rear coming around too easily. But I would rather be loose than be pushing all day long.
Thanks for the comments.

You'd need both front and rear. The car is rather neutral as is, and the rear steps out easily under trail braking. Add only a rear bar and you're going to have too much oversteer under all conditions (LTO, trailbrake, power on, etc.).

+1, i'd upgrade both front and rear to Racing Beat bars. RB does a good job and a lot of testing to make cars balanced. Get both F&R.

Thanks. I've come from FWD cars and a rear sway bar only is a must to dial out understeer. So, it must be different with this car. I can't wait to get used to RWD again. My last RWD car was a 1987 RX-7 Turbo II, so it's been awhile.
