Default Is the H&R rear sway bar effective at countering understeer?

See a good deal on ebay for $180 including shipping. Is an aftermarket rear sway bar like the H&R worth it?

Default ugh, I can't watch this anymore. Allow me...

You'll notice that no one else has jumped in, well in part at least it is because everyone is completely sick of "EF" and his crass, holier-than-thou attitude. Just watch the video and then ignore him.

And in regard to the sway bar, it works by pulling up on the inside wheel when the outer is compressed, thus reducing roll. Lots of info on the sight, I encourage you to search.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E87WAAJt6ZI">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E87WAAJt6ZI</a</li></ul>
