Thumbs up Removed rear swaybar

I have recently removed the rear swaybar in my stock suspention GSL-SE. I was having quite an issue with oversteer. Witch was fun but I wanted the car to handle better and faster while cornering. Once i removed the rear swaybar I noticed I noticed quite a differance. I don't have as much oversteer and i can go alot faster through the corners now. I am going to do this to my 81 that has racing beat springs and kyb's and see if it makes a differance in it too.
Has anyone else tried this or had simmilar experience?

I am really considering removing mine for the next Solo2 event to see if it is worthwhile for me.

I initially installed an adjustable bar on my SA F/P autocrosser. Then took it off and tried the stock bar. Ended up with no bar, which seems the most stable and controllable. I also have the GC coilover conversion on the front end, custom coils in the rear and Illuminas all the way around. Good luck.
