true i've seen the new improved one and its crap, the car i saw this on was flexing at certain point & the tubing bits for the bolts were bending to the point they were about to fall off.The only good thing is the bar itself. I run the ASR to the whiteline bar and used all ASR bolts, which are higher quality

no. i had the 24mm front and 22mm rear on the hardest setting in my last ek. pictured earlier and i'd have to say that was just leaning towards oversteer. throttle off and oversteer, thottle on and understeer. brake and drifto! the 26mm stock i am unsure if it is hollow or not but if it is solid a good balance could be achieved with that. the different holes for the setting provide a big difference. the difference between my 22mm rear on the hardest to the softest setting is huge. i have stock 21mm front with original rubber bushes and 22mm rear on hardest setting on my eg and that is fun. that is more oversteer. pushing in on the ramp from the centenery highway down and around onto the ipswich motorway tailslide throttle off is fun. whereas softest is a neutral balance.
The front one is solid 26mm, i took it off before & based on the weight it couldnt be hollow.
Generally if you increase the rear to 24mm it tends to oversteer, which cna be fun.
The way i countered this was pretty much by accident, i got new LCAs, which distributed the weight in the rear better.
Also got a 3 point front brace & lower front 4point brace.
The car now is more neutral.
I just now gotta do the middle bar & rear upper struts to finish it off.
try 21mm with soft oem bushes front and 22mm rear whiteline . that is fun.Quote:

wif my experiences more stiff on the back will cause over steer.
stiffer on the front more understeer..
i rekon find a balance that your driving skills can handle...
limbo have u tried those front fender braces considering youve already got a 3 & 4point front brace?
and rear x bar ftw
Snap oversteer from throttle lift off sucks balls. And controlling the slide can be tricky. Big sways, hard damper and no semis make S bends interesting. Even funnier in the wet.
don't lift off the throttle. so basically brake before the corner and hard accel out ftw. big rear bar helps get that traction down. once you know the course is clear pedal down. mid corner brake from unexpected ? = snap oversteer FTL!
or bit of slower speed scandinavian flick and full throttle ;)
nah not yet but i spoke with someone about them before, who runs them and they told me it helps stop the front from lifting. May invest in a set someday or i might get somone to weld them for me
