      I love my giant rear swaybar in my E30. Finally no more understeer. It is awesome. I do need to reinforce my trunk floor though.

        rear swaybars will NOT make your car understeer less.

            Not possible. Putting a rear sway-bar on your car to fix under-steer is like putting drag slicks on the front of your car so it hooks up better.

              The lack of rear grip due to your bar is probably the cause of less understeer :)

                meh, details....

                It sure stays flatter in the corners too.

                  Lol, that's my attitude for most things. Sure it's not the best solution, but whatever.

                    i wish i could say my car stays flatter around corners, which it seemed to do pretty well when i got it, but rear absorbers are shot so its loosy goosy (+ lack of sway bar)

                      dude. I got my ST sways for free. That is the best solution.

                        I have the exact same tab missing, makes me mad each time I think about it knowing I have nothing holding the sway bar

                          When I bought my car the stock link was off. I didn't even notice until about 7k miles after when I decided to do the diff fluid. I was pretty happy with my "free" upgrade!

                              If i or we find someone with a welder, we should get it done at the same time right?
