In the stock autocross classes, it is permissible to change either the front or the rear swaybar, but not both. After reading a lot of threads here, it seems that most people replace the front swaybar, not the rear. But why do that if it increases understeer? From the factory the car is set up to understeer, so do people actually want more of it?? Based on my experience (which may not be as isolated as I thought), I would leave the front swaybar alone.
