Default suspension making me crazy..HELP

Hello guys,

I am pissed off from what i am facing.
My civic si 00 rides on Koni/GC 430F/300R with 26mm front sway bar and a recently installed 22mm rear bar.

Almost no gap at the front and 1 finger gap at the rear.

After installing the rear bar i expected to have a perfect handling car, but certainly not!

Understeer is noticeably decreased.

But the current problem is that the front is loosing traction at the mid of the corner and i feel like the car will be out of control which suxxx.

If i am driving at a speed of 30 mph and i slightly steer right then left, also i feel that the front end slides.

Tires pressure is ok.

Any idea what is causing that?

Get a smaller front bar, bigger rear bar, and stiffer springs for the rear.

What are you using this car for?

Smaller front bar, Bigger rear bar, stiffer springs ! Hence a hell of oversteer.
This is my week end fun car. No auto x
