This is my take thus far... :

I believe the two stage behavior is a product of unmatched bars,
front/rear.  Audidudi's explanation of my two-stage observation makes a
great deal of sense to me, as I don't remember the sensation of tire
slip, only a non-linear change in direction.  Once I was going all out
and was past the two stage transition, I would then get to the point
where I was feeling tire slip, i.e. a couple of nice 4 wheel drifts one
day on a back road in MN. :-)

I'm thinking only a larger front bar would be a better choice.  Only
_then_ would I consider a rear bar again.  As for shorter(stiffer)
springs on the Coupe, no way for the street, not for me.  Ground
clearance is not in abundance, even with the stock suspension.  With some
firmer damping (which you have) and some 15 inch wheels with good rubber
grip/control and looks should be "handled".  ;-)

Thicker bars are in the front because more weight is in the front.
