-2 takes plates to do correctly, so I'll be shooting for more like -2.5 to -3.0.


I am not afraid of bars. More like asking if I will get the desired results with 16mm bars or 18/19mm bars. My concern is that the heavy bars are way stiffer than stock at their softest settings and conversely, the 16's might not be enough. This is with stock suspension, RCE springs and 200TW tires.

I recommend against only adding a larger rear sway bar. Sounds counter-intuitive for your problem, but a larger front sway would probably be a net improvement. In some use cases, a front and rear set works well for a car that's not on aftermarket coilovers.

That IS counterintuitive! It was also what my alignment guy suggested (@Apex Alignment), so I think you both might be on to something


That said, it seems like plates should clearly be step 1 at this point.

I am driving to account for a barely perceptible understeer, but it's not really a problem. I just want the car a little looser. If a sway bar would do that, it seems like a very easy fix. I think I am going to go with more front grip rather than less rear grip.


Thanks again everyone!
