Unless you're about to swap ends because you weren't as talented at powersliding as you thought you were.

The snap oversteer of the 1991-92 MR2 had
nothing to do with steady-state cornering balance, which is what you are complaining about in this thread. The suspension geometry was such that the rear tires would toe out when the suspension was in droop. As such, if a driver entering a corner too hot lifted off the throttle (or applied a bit of brake) the forward load transfer would cause the rear suspension to extend, toe-ing out the rear tires and reducing rear cornering force (to a much greater degree than simple load transfer would cause). This was addressed by revising the rear suspension geometry for the 1993 model year. Spring/bar rates had nothing to do with it, and changing them made no real difference in that regard.
