This works well while learning but once you reach the limit of the car (as opposed to the limit of your skill) you will find that it would be quite well balanced stock and the rear bar creates a few problems. The major issue is excessive oversteer while having to feather the throttle from the inability to apply power during mid-corner and corner exit due to the rear wheels no longer functioning as independent suspension like a live axle muscle car. This teaches you how to balance the car with your right foot at a lower limit than what you would have with a proper suspension setup. This is where the high-end suspension setups offered by CSG and others come into play to provide the proper balance while keeping the corners as independent as possible.

I think I ran into this a bit at the last track day. While hustling it around turns several sessions in, I couldn't help but find myself wondering why in the world I wanted to change the balance. It just felt "right" to me.
I wouldn't mind swapping to a decent set of coil overs, but as far as the balance itself goes...it feels fine at my current skill level and I'm in no hurry to change it.
