H-Sport sway bars - did you install only rear or both bars on you car?
Got hold of a used set recently and had time to install only rear bar. Car feels much more crisp and turn in is very much improved...
After reading on the forum looks like lot of people leave the stock front bar to make car more neutral..
What are the pros and cons of doing this?

I replaced rear first, drove for a week, and then put the front in.
The overall handling is much better than stock, but it still understeers. I currently have the rear in the softer position and am thinking about trying the stiffer position.
You are welcome to drive mine to feel the difference.

might take you up on that..how does the stg 3 feels :-)
well that is why I am thinking about leaving front stock bar on...stiffening rear will help with understeer but then when you put bigger front bar you are back back to square 1?

BOTH! I have an H & R Street Sport and it had significant roll. I don't track so I wanted to ...
take as much roll out of the car without worrying abou tdialing in understeer.
I have no baseline to measure from (with vs. without front bar) but I installed both and set the rear to stiff - HOLY ****!!!! It handles like a totally different car!
90 degree turns at 30 mph with a flat feel and no tire slip! AMAZING!!!!
I can honetly say the roll feels like an H & R Ultra set up with a rear sway only but the soft ride quality of a street sport suspension.

Stage 3 is awesome. I have a few small things to work out, but nothing major.
I wouldn't say it's back to square one as body roll has been reduced. It's probably all a matter of preference. Try the different combos to see what works best for you.
