- The obvious answer would be the addition of an appropriately sized front bar to balance the rear one. Result: Flatter cornering with similar balance. To really do it right of course you'd use a matc

- I think the result doesn't change at the rear only you are less likely to oversteer because you have so much mooooooooooooooore understeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer. Trust me, you know it makes sense. Daniel1312
