If you are running an OEM 24mm rear sway bar, my experience tells me that you will have too much front sway bar. I run a 35mm front sway bar on my SRA Fox Body with an OEM rear sway bar AND a Steeda adjustable rear sway bar. I ran the same setup on my 2000 GT before the IRS swap. Because the Steeda adjustable rear sway bar is discontinued, the advice I give to people is to run a 25mm rear sway bar, THEN determine if you need a larger front sway bar. A V6 with an OEM GT 24mm rear sway bar should be pretty neutral (especially if your shocks & struts and alignment are set correctly). Your oversteer tendency is probably due to the open diff and when you are getting back on the power (which has to be early in a V6). Essentially, your setup is at odds with how you have to attack the course (but you are doing a really good job of driving around that issue). The question is: Are you moving the overall limit of traction of the car further IN or further OUT by adding the larger front sway bar? My advice would be to come up with a plan for adjustments you'll make based on how the car feels on each run prior to your next event, so you can dial in the car at the event. Forgive me if I've recommended this video to you already, but proper adjustments make a huge difference in how these cars handle...[MEDIA=youtube]9HiS-t4_O_w[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
