yea, i was worried about that too, but there was plenty of cool-off/shut-down time between runs with no hot-lapping, so i never even got the warning issue all day. 5 trips down the quarter mile and 4 autox runs during the 5 or 6 hours i was there and everything was beautiful...except for my 60' times

In Australia my local lancer club (ClubCJ) has done a bulk order of the sway bars. I'll let you know how I go with the rear one.

Also from a practical perspective, why would anyone want to have both front and rear sway bars since the two appear to have offsetting effects (i.e. decrease understeer - rear, decrease oversteer - front)???

from the way it looked, and was advertised, there was a certain degree of adjustability in the bars, so you may reduce oversteer slightly but greatly stiffen the front while making more effort to reduce understeer by changing the rear configuration and reinforcing, if that makes sense.

have the front set to the "softest" or "least affecting" setting, which is still stiffer/better than stock, and then the rear set to the most difference you can make in order to reduce the understeer and stiffen up the rear and it may help all the way around and you can adjust as necessary depending on your needs. i hope thats how to describe it, it sounds right in my head anyway

Purpose of swaybars is to reduce vehicle sway/roll. The stiffer the swaybar, the less the sway. If your vehicle sways more in front than it does in the rear, you will experience oversteer. If it sways more in the rear than it does in the front, you will experience understeer.

So, if you upgrade both front and rear swaybars, the understeer/oversteer (or increase or reduction in either or both) that you experience will depend on the comparative size of the new swaybars. If both the front and rear swaybars are designed properly (and designed to work with each other), upgrading both front and rear will reduce overall body roll AND (in our cars, anyway) reduce understeer.

That is kind of an oversimplification of it, but I hope it clears some things up. I'm sure some more technically-minded/detail-oriented people will offer some additional clarifications/corrections.

My rear whiteline swaybar is in!

I'll do a review of it once I install it on my Sportback.

Plese do, I plan on ordering the Whiteline swaybar, but I have been waiting to see how well it works out for others before I commit.
