Sway Bar Advice for Track -- Rear Sway Only

I've read most of the postings regarding larger sway bars. I'm specifically interested in hearing from those who have installed only rear sways, and how this impacted the handling at the track. Does this help reduce under steer?

Or should I only consider changing front and rear sways in sets?

FYI, my car is PASM equipped. Does this come into play?

I would just change both, I have the H&R and don't encounter understeer unless I am really pushing the card hard into the corners on the track. A quick tap on the gas will usually correct the problem.

Northvan is right, I would change both.

Im still trying to get rid of undertsteer, my GT3 cup control arms made a HUGE difference!

it makes no sense to just change the rear bar... it will really upset the suspension. One of those all or nothing modifications.

I have H&R springs and front and rear sway it handles great plus I run rcomp tires.this combo should make you hook up great on the track.the only step after this is coilovers
