    I think I said that - cabrio bar with adjustable links. . . .

              no, after that. maintence throttlin' it felt like it wanted to swap ends on me... and being it was always near the turn 9/10 which is the only place with a wall, i quickly found a fix.

                    I think you shouldn't worry about your setup rather than maybe getting some better tires... I mean your setup is only as good as your tires, to be honest...

                    You can do what ever you want in theory (on paper) and then only apply it to be wrong. If that makes any sense....

                    Though you said the car doesn't have any oversteer with the rear bar disconnected?

                      It works pretty beautifully on Falkens with no rear bar. Pretty confidence inspiring, or at least not in a cold sweat the rear is going to swing around on me. It does what I want it to and is predictable on track. Even with a Spec Miata'er having me push the car harder and faster.

                      It just obviously isn't a "solution" in my book. My rear rolls hardcore before 475#'s are too soft for this shit.


                      So let's see if i can get this cabby bar, modded or not, and with adjustable links and get a balanced car. Or just take Jay's successful advice.

                        why is not running a rear swaybar not a solution? Does it not give you the desired end effect?
                        This whole discussion is stupid. Running no rear bar is a very good way to produce a great handling e30. If you still find you are oversteering, then install m3 links, or a cabrio bar, or even both. With all the slamming you do on this forum, you should know how to achieve the deisred effect.
                        Your solutions range from absolutely rediculous and expensive to cheap as hell. Why dont you just install m3 tabs and m3 links since you already have them, and then go to the track.

                                Well, if its not as productive, then do what you basically just said in a round about way. Apparently we are using deductive reasoning.
                                Go get some stiffer springs, or get some stiff as hell swaybars. Easy.
