Performance Q about Comptech RSB

I installed the RSB a couple of weeks ago. Its awesome on the street, but I took it to the Autocross this weekend and it felt really bad. The back end just doesn't seem to want to stay planted in hard turns. So, I effectively traded massive understeer for unbelievable oversteer. Now, I do run street tires, so I know I could be planted better, but this is rediculous. I know I wasn't as fast as I used to be, but was it the tight track, cooler morning temps on the track surface or the RSB? Has anyone else used the Comptech in Autocross with any success? Does anyone even try to AX these cars in the first place? Or is it just my dumb ass?

with all do respect, the TL, no matter what you do to it will not be perfect on the autoX track. its just not that type of car. maybe you were expecting a little more out of the sway bar than you got and yes the cool surface may be part of the problem as well!
