Rear sway bar will make it more over steery..

Front flatens it out but can increase understeer.

I've found that the front doesn't increase understeer, but when it 'let's go' you are going a lot faster than with the stock bar making it feel like it increases understeer.

Regardless, F&R swaybars are one of the best bang for bucks mod you can do imo.

I have a Whiteline H-brace which is pretty light and fits well.
I got to hold a Cusco one at the same time, and the Cusco was amazingly light, but more expensive.

So I have Whiteline H-brace, F & R sway bars, rear strut brace, ALK and a carbon STi front strut brace.
Made one hell of a difference once it was all in.
