these cars (being fairly tail happy already because of the weight dist) can be a handful at speed if you are not on top of it... be careful after making that switch.

if you're looking for additional rotation, try staggering your tire pressures also... that WILL add more or less rotation depending on pressure. frankly I would have done that first prior to going to a big bar out back.

it's the off throttle lift that catches most drivers out during corner entry or mid corner. dropping out of throttle makes these car want to swap ends in a hurry... you'll need to get back on the gas asap to control that over steer situation.

don't change the front sway, you'll understeer more and that's the last thing you want unless you're an experienced enough driver

that is really one of those .... Gotta try it to find out... Questions. Take it to a local track and test them out.. There really isnt a black or white answer for swaybars. Just trial and error. Basics is - swaybar=less traction at mounted end = more traction at opposite end . Up to a certian point.
