Could it be all that weight on the front. I beleive a well regarded lister ,
I wont mention his name (torsenboy) , but I think he correctly pointed out
that by the time you eliminated understeer it would pick up the rear wheel. I
will have to drive one before I will give it the nod as I think coil overs
sprung and corner weighted correctly make more sense. The bad thing about
bars is that they dont break loose progressively. I am not sure I would like
them in a track situation.
