    Rear swaybar upgrade

    I'm thinking of changing my stock swaybar for an aftermarket one, I would like to have little bit less understeer when it's wet.
    What swaybars are you guys using and how are you liking it?

    Thanks.

    I guess there isn't a softer front bar available.

      I think the only option you have is adding adjustable end links.

        Correct me if I'm wrong but when you thicken the rear swaybar, you increase the chance to oversteer right and thus making it push less?

          Somehow I read front sway bar. The rear sway bar is the same between all e30s. Put a stock i/e/es/is sway bar in there if you like. Or disconnect the front sway bar.

          Or run skinnier tires all the around and use the gas pedal more. Lol.

          What's your purpose, just trying to have fun? The ix slides sideways very well, you just have to be on the appropriate surface.

            I just want to get some of the understeer removed :)

                Right, I meant they're all the same between i/e/es/is. That was pretty poorly worded.
