would you get a front or rear swaybar first?

all my friends are fwd people and i'm not sure if they react the same with regards to sway bars.

i've heard if you get a front one before the rear it'll understeer like crazy.

so my question is would i be better to get a rear swaybar before the front?

I'd do both at the same time. If you increase the width of the sway bar, it'll roll less. So if you put a bigger bar up front, with the stock in the rear, you'll get more understeer. If you get a bigger one in the rear, with the stock in the front, you'll get more oversteer.

If I were you I'd do both at the same time... but since oversteer can lead to bad things (if you aren't too good at driving RWD or ready for it...) I'd go with a front bar first.

If it were me personally, I would do both at the same time, though.

Hope it helps!
