Its set up to understeer as stock, because most people don't know what to do when oversteer occurs. With the 19mm it becomes one of the most balanced handling characteristics of any car I've ever driven. It will not oversteer or understeer, it cuts the turn like a knife. Impressive actually. If you want more fun, then go for something between a 20 and 22mm, which will oversteer quite a bit more, if you know how to handle that. With the 19 it's quite a bit more track style oriented, it cuts through corners incredibly well and begins to let go evenly at the front and back while maintaining the turn radius, which works fine with me. I think a thicker bar (21) would be fun, but it might be more dangerous and completely unnecessary.

Be patient. The time will come. You don't want to be the guineapig just like the rest of us! I may order them after redoing some suspension mods but that won't be for at least one month. I'm sure sooner or later we will get some feedback on them.

LOL! A voice of reson to keep me grounded. I would have done it by now but youre right, I dont want to be the guineapig. Especially having read about some spring swaps on this forum that turned out a complete fail (on other models of course). BTW, I will buy your STI sway bar if you change it.
