Sways -- Which ones

While I am impatiently waiting for my car, I am going to order some mods. First off I have decided to do Sways. Is the general opinion that the Comptech Sways are the best or are their other prefered options. I am looking for the flatest most neutral handling I can get. I don't want the car lowered (yet) so I am nolding off on springs. Will comptech sways eliminate some of the understeer that the car has. I am used to rear wheel drive and much prefer neutral/oversteer when pushed. Has anyone tried only the fronts.

If you just put the fronts on you'll basically have little to no effect. The specs for the front comptech and stock are very simalar. I HIGHLY recommend putting both front and rear.

Do they get rid of the shitty stock rubber bushings and replace them with urethane ones or something better?

CompTech only replaces the rear bushings with urethane ones, the front bushings are still rubber I believe.

Eibach actually replaces both the front and rear bushings but I don't know if they make them for the CL and TL.

Will a beefier rear bar not increase the understeer. Seems like they would have increased the front more than back. Of course, I am not an expert.

A beefier rear would increase oversteer. A lot people would modify the Type R sways, and put them onto their GS-R. They would get a nice oversteer with that setup. Just because we have a FWD doesnt mean we cant increase oversteer.

Perfect. Maybe I will try just the rear bar. With the stock front that should increase the amount of oversteer I get.
