sway bar advice

i have just lowered my car with nuespeed racing springs and bilstein shocks. also i put a skunk2 camber kit and lower control arms. i have a problem with my over steering. as you would have guessed i am oversteering. i just wanted some suggestions on what size sway i should get and not to sound cocky or anything but i would prefer the best and only the best. thanks

Re: sway bar advice

If you are oversteering, why do you want a larger rear sway bar?

Re: sway bar advice

No, getting a larger rear sway bar, will INDUCE oversteer. That is why I am confused. Just to be clear (I'm not treating you like you are dumb)
- Oversteer is when the back end kicks out. Larger rear sway/smaller front sway induces oversteer.

- Understeer is when the front end "digs". Smaller rear sway/larger front sway induces understeer.
