Is it true that no sway bar in the back will create more oversteer? I have always heard that, thought I would ask the drift junkies for the facts.
I have Suspension techniques (22mm front and 19mm in the rear)..What would be the downfall of removing the rear swaybar?
Thanks,
Korey

i've always read that removing the front sway bar creates more of a tendancy to oversteer.

I think your right, because I just looked around some e30 forums and thats what the majority of them were saying. At the moment it's a e30 with the eta motor, and I would like to be able to slide better using what I have until the summer. Will removing this front bar, and keeping the rear bar cause any problems? I think I've come up with a basic plan for summer mods:
Stg 3 clutch, aluminum pressure plate, lightweight flywheel, Turnermotorsport J-stock suspension, and all urethane mounts.

The fact that it's a coat hanger or it's plastic?
