ive heard taking off that swaybar reduces oversteer somewhat. Take it off and try it. if you dont like it put it back on.

Great for drag racing, not good for corner attacking.

if DDing it wouldn't matter too much. This is mainly for spririted drivers/track cars that really see the bar at work. Point A to Point B should be no problem.


Link, just for some FYI about how sway bars work:

Actually running without the rear sway bar helps cornering also, taking it off help reduce the snap oversteer.
