Default I'm going through Hoppen Motorsports, and I chose to wait on the sway bar upgrade...

I believe Hoppen will sell the sway bars separately, and front and back can be picked up for around 4 bills or so, but you'll need to contact them (Mike) for actual cost.

Default the car over steered the entire weekend, had a hard time not letting the back swap with the front

the snows made it a real chore to handle. If I had just swaped the rear with out the front I am afraid how bad the car would have been. Have you done both sway bars or just the rear?

Default 38 psi, every corner the back tried to come around. I ended up braking really early and apexing

really late, much beyond the point where I would normally turned in and began excellerating.
