lowered evos with bigger rear sway
i have tunabe coilovers so how it is over kill?
Because it's highly unlikely that your Tanabe coilovers are built and customized to interact seamlessly with your existing spring rates and a 27mm bar. You don't just add a bunch of random suspension parts and expect them to work. They have to all be track tested over and over in concert to determine the proper alignment, damper settings, valving, and amount of rear bar stiffness needed. Your setup is surely a mess right now, especially if you have it slammed 2".
I will attach some pics so you don't have to browse.
Edit: 100kb limit is too small for any of my pics. I don't have a photo editor on this PC, so no luck for now.

because this has nothing to do with your ride height. I'm in your corner, if you can make the 27mm bar work, great. However in order to prevent and controll the oversteer you have created, you need to "balance" your suspension with an appropriate front sway bar. This will produce a "flat/neutral" feel to the suspension.
Or you can countersteer like a champ and practice your "power on drift technique."

and i just went outside and measured from the ground to the top of the wheel well and its as follows
front 25 1/4"
rear 25 1/8"

I'm not going to do all that work to create an account and upload all those pics just for this, sorry. 
Your setup without the rear sway should not have understeered so badly. It just means you didn't have it setup properly, or the coilovers suck (probably both).

have you ever experienced "tri-pod" mode with your present set up?
and i had to remove one bar under the downpipe because the new downpipe was huge. after that the car felt very understeery into corners. i tought my tires were low or something but i check and 35 psi all aorund. so then when i got the bar, the car felt ungodly better and more neutral into and out of corners. honestly it feels fantastic with the H&R sway bar on there.
i have one but the other one wouldnt fit. i could get it on there but it would be spaced down so much that it would literally be like 2-3" from the gorund.
ok so i dont go ***** to the wall around corners, ur right. but u dont understand what im saying. b4 the 27mm sway bar, the car would understeer and felt like shizit. i figured i would correct that with some oversteer and now it feels great.
I don't understand how you could have so much understeer if you're not even racing. I thought we were talking about entering tight turns at full speed and threshold braking. You're just talking about daily driving on the street? Good gracious - your Tanabes must not be setup at all. Getting a 27mm rear sway in this case was just a bandaid. My guess is your net increase in handling over stock is about 0 but at quite a high cost. This is an example of how NOT to modify the Evo suspension.
SWIFT makes sway bar thats not thicker than stock but stiffer. SWIFT doesn't rate their sway bar by mm. H&R product in my opinion are not the best for evo, look into major JDM brands.
