Well according the TTR their bar is much more rigid due to it being bigger.

I installed mine this weekend and it's great. Trust me easy install and works great.

Go for it. Cheap group buy hurry up.

i hear the aftermarket rear sway bars dont reduce body roll, they just make the car more tail happy, is this true?

It made my car more controllable and made the rear much stiff so you dont get that sloppy feel anymore.

But will the bar make it easy to slide the rear end of the car? I have heard discussion of this rumor as well...

I doubt you will slide the rear if you don't have rear wheel drive breaking the car loose. I don't think it can take that much pressure off the outside tire while cornering. Just enought to turn better.

it will infact make the rear roll less then front which in theory should reduce the amount of understeer and make the car oversteer more, hence i said does it make the car tail happy. if it does infact just reduce roll in the back it should make the car lean more towards oversteer.

I don't really know of a single FWD car that has oversteer......they all understeer in my opinion.

right on maverick! 100%. However in fact by stiffening the rear, (how much is an issue) you will make the car become more and more sensitive to gas on understeer gas off oversteer...gas on push, gas off loose...too much rear stiffness and the car maybecome difficult in the rain as you come off the gas and turn into the corner. At the end of the day until the floppy twisting pivot beam bushings are replaced with spherical joints, the car can never get to where it needs to be for the track. Stock is fine for the street...

It might slide the rear if your driving in snow, otherwise no.

Only slides in snow.

This is true.

That is because the front wheels pull the car, and that they are usually nose heavy from engine and trans.

It will only start to come around in the snow. Otherwise, its great.
