My car has some wicked oversteer with the rear sway in place, and I'd like to find a solution better than my temporary "fix" of unhooking it. Part of it may or really is the reduced camber in the back thanks to the eccentric bushings I have.
I'm going to try to get my rear suspension lower out of two ways: 1) somehow getting the bolt loosened or cutting it and lowering perch (but this wouldn't help the coil binding) 2) get old adjuster off and replace with a 2.5" ID one and run my 5.5" 475# spring instead of my 6" one...
As far as balancing it better, there are several options
a) Do what Jay suggests and get a 375# (or 400# even) front spring. Cost: $120 + pain of installing
i) could also install m3 tabs and run the different pickup for the front bar for more body roll killage
b) install m3 tabs. i have the parts already, but wouldn't be fun to install. but would make my bar act like a ~24mm one
c) install ST bar or IE 25mm hollow bar (which would be ~23mm solid maybe, and lighter). run 325 endlinks still. (no preload on bar though)
i) run a 25mm IE bar, with m3 links, and 400# front springs, with something like 550# 5.5" rear springs and stock rear sway ?
d) buy IE stage 3 springs and install with my Konis.
i) possibly buy a swaybar set after that
my ultimate goal is making my car solid handling and not so creaky, and pretty comfortable for a daily. 400# springs might be stiffer and be less comfy than a swaybar fix in front. I plan on doing more auto-x and less track in the future, but don't care to be fast as real stiff springs would require
throw your $.02 in the ring and help me out

I had some extreme angles and preload going on, I may of had the m3 tab welded to high up(right below the spring perech). But I put in some custom made adjustable links, that are almost 2 inches longer then stock, to dial it out. I'm getting just a tad hint of understeer with the current setup.
