FC handling improved with no rear sway bar?
I tried posting this in the race section but only got one answer so; I've recently heard that FC's handle better with no rear sway bar. This seems counter-intuitive to me. The Fc is an understeering chassis and more rear bar usually gets rid of understeer. I've heard this stated as internet "fact" but I'm having a hard time believeing it. Anyone have any informed or semi-informed opinions?

It all depends on what spring rates you have, they can be made to handle well with or without. No rear bar is just compensated for with stiffer rear springs.

I have a stock front swap bar and no rear sway bar and it handles very well. I also have pretty damn stiff springs. In fact, if you push/jump on the car the only movement is tire flex, so I guess the sway bar isn't really needed in my case. Actually, if anything, it has a tad bit of trailing throttle oversteer. A couple times recently I took a corner faster than I wanted and backed off mid corner only to have the rear step out a bit. Luckily I know how to compensate for that but it could have been hairy for many people. Now I just keep on the go pedal in the corners
