Neuspeed rear sway bars.... Too much oversteer....need your opinion.

I seriously think my car has a bit too much oversteer. Its not excessive, but its borderline. It does make the care more neutral, but I actually like it when it pushes a little bit more. I don't think I'm at that level that can handle this much oversteer. So here is my options.....

Option 1- take the rear sways off and put stock back on.

Option 2- put neuspeed's 22mm front sway bars on

Option 3- put neuspeed's 25mm front sway bars on

Thanks. Oh yeah, I have MK1.

I have the 22mm front and the rear and it handles very nicely.

Take off the rear bar OR put on the 22 front bar - don't need anything more

however - i'd just dump the rear bar.

Remember the front sway bar swap involves dropping the subframe and using those "single use only"

bolts when re-installing. It's a pretty major effort.

Doesn't look too bad of a job. I have to lower the car anyways, I might as well do it then

or get used to the oversteer... Not such a bad quality for AWD unless it's excessive...

If you end up swapping the front swaybar and want to sell the old one...

... e-mail me. I'm interested in buying one of these if the price is reasonable (or would trade for my Mk2 bar). I think the Mk1 is 1mm smaller (softer) than the Mk2, right? I'm just interested in dialing out a bit of the Mk2 understeer while having the option to remain in Solo2 stock for now (don't mind a little extra body roll).
