I run the RB bars and have the rear sway bar on full stiff. Along with the stickier Sumitomo HTR 200 tires I have a very hard time getting the back end to step out at all, let alone snap out on me. The only downside is the front bar is solid, not hollow like the RE-Speed bar, so it is very heavy. Consider this when buying. Also there is no substitute for seat time at the track/auto-X.
If you have the money, go with it. The problem is that for CSP, which is where most people run their FB in, won't allow turn-in spacer, so we can't get the g-force shocks/coilovers.

My personal opinion on snap oversteer is that the major cause is simply worn out bushings. The rubber adheres to the metal parts and no longer moves the way it should. Once I replaced the bushings, threw on new shocks and springs, I had no issues with it. The car is very well balanced, and well behaved.

Well I think I am going to get both front and back...Im not that hardcore of a driver but it would be nice to be able to take a corner and not roll all over the place. Also I am getting poly-bushings which will be good. And the fact that Im not pushing much more than stock I dont think I'll have HUGE issues of oversteer.
