So LB, if I am reading the Suspensions thread correctly, would I be correct in assuming that I could put a rear sway bar on my Civic Si because it's FWD, helping to correct the understeer? I'm not racing it, but a more stable steering profile would be desirable for anyone, I would think. I have the alignment specs HR1 posted, which aren't tire-eating specs yet improve handling, but the sway bar issue is what's vexing me. Thoughts? No front sway but a rear sway = best option for non-race track handling?

If the next question is "How do you drive?", the answer is "aggressive". I like taking turns hard, but I certainly don't drift the car. :) I want the ability to corner aggressively while not chewing up my tires during a "normal" commute. Having said that, my interpretation of the thread is that a rear sway bar would assist the understeer issue and handling.
