[MR2] heavier frt sway bar effects

[Joel]

Ron,

you have it backwards. :)

larger front = understeer
larger rear = oversteer

with all the years of my abusive MKI driving with the ST sway bar set 
(with upgraded end links), i have never seen or experienced any sort of 
metal fatigue due to stiffer sway bars.  my wife's 85 did have 1 point 
of fatigue - front passenger sway bar mounting point.  a friend welded 
on some nice new plate steel with a nut welded on the opposite side, and 
everything has been perfect! :)

> Hi guys.  IIRC, doesn't increasing the stiffness up front induce more oversteer?  Might be trading for an 87 mk1 with a heavier aftermarket bar.  Haven't seen it yet.  On some cars it can also cause metal fatigue - a problem with mk1's?   TIA, Ron.
