get the hardcore bar the XXX is pretty much set up for track use, others will chime and state the same thing. this has been discussed quite often i even have a thread on the topic. HC bar is bout $200 i believe plus shipping and from others that already have the product they will say its well worth the mod...

I just got the XXX bar whie at powell's and wow holy hell what a difference over the progress I had in the rear before. Just got new tires put on wednesday too and every day im pushing the car a little more and a little more in this one corner at work. I must say other powell mods compliment each other as well too for furture suspension modding thought

the HC bar is just about perfect for me at AutoX, some times a XXX would be nice to try though... that said, there have been a few corners where I could feel my tail end start to swing out with my HC bar on higher speed on-ramps where you have to make sure you stay on the throttle so your sway bar doesnt "spring" you into the ditch.. I mean I was taking a 30mph circular ramp at 65 but thats besides the point

I don't know what you guys are doing, but my car doesn't rotate quickly, or oversteer. It just does what it should now. I can lift mid turn, and the amount of oversteer that occurs is very small, IMO. Nowhere near what I would call fast.
Never had the rear step out in the rain or cold.
