perhaps you've set your car up in a way that ended up factoring in the front deflection, so when you suddenly stiffen it up the motion dynamics change at the tire level.
if this was stock class, I would say that the natural spring of the chassis is a net benefit to your grip, but if you're given almost carte blanche at suspension setup then I'd suggest to aim for as stiff a chassis as possible and set up the suspension accordingly....
nay?

I wound tend to agree with you, however, In my experience with Strut bars.. The front is overkill because of said bindup... I have experienced that first hand. the Firewall is part of the structural and integral part of a street car. Stiff as possible is not necessarily the goal, as a Working suspension, to me, is just as important.. Without the Strutbar, the suspension is allowed to operate as designed.. Now I am not saying you can't stiffen up the whole chassis.. but it has to be uniform (Cage) for it to be beneficial. Again.. my opinion..
To put it into perspective... The Turn-in on the twins are awesome, as designed, if you mess with the balance of that, then you must have adjust-ability to ensure the turn-in balance is maintained.
