in the overstear department. or what? better handeling or a shitload of overstear. Cuz my buddy who has a j's racing c-pillar bar, mugen rear strut and a ITR sway bar said that even on good tires his **** slides out a little bit from all the over stear. lemme know!

stiffens up the back a little and helps stop body roll.

It helps but you also need other suspension components to maximize its effect. What are your rear spring rates? I would recommed something of 250 and up.

I've heard nothing but good opinions about the kit, I'm going to get one very soon.

it is the best suspension mod I have done yet. I had it on the hardest setting to start and am on the softest now. make sure to adjust the end links when going stiffer. It is nothing like full out racing teins but definately better for the occasional corner carver. It is comparable to an itr sway bar, but is direct bolt on, and has little slots for the abs wiring.

What do u mean by ajusting the end links. I like to take my teggy out for runs in the nearest canyon over here. And i dont want my car to break loose or anything like that but i want the roll to a minimum without any choppiness or my rear end breaking loose. So what should my end links be at and stiffness be at? thanks a bunch :-D My cars a 2000 ls btw

My settings for the bar is in the middle. My car's rear slides out on the stiffest setting.

endlinks are what connect the end of the bar to the car. look at a picture on http://www.comptechusa.com installation part. There are two adjustable link with round ends. just have to adjust them when installing the bar. Not something you have to change like ride height with ground controls..
