too big a swaybar?
maybe some of the suspension gurus can enlighten me,i have been tracking for a couple of years and ive gotten to the point where i think im a decent driver but its still a work in progress but heres my question,i had a 25mm bar on the back and it felt good but understeered midturn at higher speeds,i had a 27mm bar lying around so i stuck it on there before my next event and it appears to have made things worse,explanation please?

No front bar?
Going too big with RSB can amplify the understeer in the front.
I would put a FSB on the car. Whiteline and Robi are a good ones with adjustments. Swifts are non-adjustable, but lighter.

hey smike that avatar you got there looked like my face when i got on track with it,i have a whiteline front bar that is brand new thats sitting at my workshop so i may do that in between events or just go back to the 25mm,it would do the same thing right ?

Well...in a way. But going to the FSB + the 25mm bar would be what I would do. That would give you more room to adjust for your style.
Adding both bars to my car made a huge difference. Car was more able to rotate in AXing for me.
I have a love/hate relationship with my RSB. Inner rear wheel lift at WOT tight corner exit, but good off-throttle rotation.
I want a FSB soooo bad. I just don't feel like installing it.
