Now, this bar caused understeer may only be noticeable to those with the car set pretty neutral in the first place. I would imagine on a 100% stock vehicle, the bar would only lessen some of the natural oversteer.
No - I have Tarmac 0 coilovers, whiteline rear camber bushings, and of course wheels and tires - which should be relevant in the conversation sitting at 17x8 with Dunlop ZII's 245/40.
I also have my alignment set at -1.5 Front, -2.5 rear. I am going to flip that around for next season and see how it goes. Should help balance everything out just changing that.

i dont know if thats how it works. or at least its not a very inclusive description of grip. if that were the case, why would manufacturers spend millions trying to improve chassis rigidity when all it does is reduce grip? i get that messing with the front roll couple will change the nature of the car but a strut bar isnt going to change that. the bar was measured to reduce deflection by up to a couple hair thicknesses. i could see it maybe sharpening response but i still havent really heard an explanation as to how it effects understeer.
