Rear sway bar results for road track events

I have stock suspension.

I've been reading mixed reviews about the progress sway bar setup. Ive owned it on 2 other cars but they were adjustable at the time.

I remember on the stiffest setting it was easy to get the rear to slide out.

What I want to know from people who do road time trials is if the progress bar since its set at 22 mm I believe for the SI , is that going to be too stiff for time trial events? Will I have a lot of lift throttle oversteer? This would be good for autocross but I dont like it for road events where the speed is a lot higher. I prefer my car to have slight lift throttle oversteer vs way too much.

or would I be better off going with the blox 21 mm bar? I think another company makes a 21 mm BE or something but they are located in canada so I would be paying too much for the bar.

thanks for the inputs

I have the progress bar on a stock suspension. Front camber -1.5, rear stock. Still pushes. Even with the progess rear bar you still need more rear roll resistance to get the car to rotate.

Get it, it is better, but not enough nor too much.

i installed the bar with enk link brackets and rsx end links.

car is pretty neutral. maybe some light lift oversteer at extremes.

I actually would of like 23 mm then it would be perfect for track events.

22 is ok though. no crazy oversteer, not what the other guys are complaining about. and i do a lot of track driving 6-7 events per year. so i know what oversteer is.
