The rear bar is not bad at all. I Pulled my cat back, this made it a bit easier, not necessary though. You will love the new bars. I think it is probably my best investment, makes the car a lot more fun to drive.

I kinda agree with Tommy. I grew up in muscle cars, so I always thought that cars only turned corners if you turned the wheel both ways...VIOLENTLY! 
I have always preferred a bit of oversteer. To me, UP TO A POINT, it's far more manageable.

I think it can vary accordingly. You tend to do your correction with the wheel in an oversteering car vs the throttle in an understeering car. Once you break traction, you're losing time (while having fun granted), but having to slow down too much to get some front end grip / turn in is stultifying too. Tune the car correctly is my suggestion. Just wish I had more experience doing this and more time to practice.

Anders, what setting do you have your KWs on with this oversteer?

I have what they suggested in the manual iirc.
on dry with warm tires its awesome, on wet its so hard I never get any grip really.
how is yours patrick? I don't think my car moves down more than a cm or so during cornering. trying to figure out if its the valving, or the springs causing it.

I really haven't figured mine out much Anders. I've had such long time between back to back racing that it's like starting again each time. I know you should always document the settings, but sometimes the car seems to go better than others. You can take the same setup to the track next time and it goes like a pregnant hippo 
Not really, but by comparison that is. You wonder what the hell is going on?
You could have yours set too hard and lose some grip as a consequence. Sometimes you need to soften it up a bit to go faster. Depends on surface of course. In the wet, forget it unless you have WETS on.

it more probably that you watch too much F1.
I'll guess that you neither have the tire engineeers to match the ambiant tamps, nor the aero guys to match the tires, nor the physical conditioning to be at your peak best, every outing.
Ofcourse I could be wrong. After all you Aussies NEVER drink too much, the night before, and if you do you certainly wouldn't admit to it...or am I remembering my English friends....
