Any big diference in understeer/oversteer?

Yeah, well, my biggest satsifaction from all of this, is that the body roll is significantly lower, by say 70%! As such, at high speeds, all four wheels stay planted on the road. As for under/over-steer, I can now throw the tail around... I have always had the rear sway bar, but at high speed sharp turns, I would try to kick the tail out (akin to a drift... though I know this is not drifting) and I could not, because the sway bar was not allowed to play its role, the shocks would absorb too much energy. Now, the shocks/springs are hard enough that I can use the sway to full advantage and kick the tail out in controlled settings.
Note, the hfp suspension is deliciously progressive, it is still nice and soft for the first 10% of travel, and then gets signifficantly stiffer thereafter. Yes, even the first 10% is stiffer than stock (noticeable so
) however once you get past that 1/4" or whatever 10% is, its awesome!
