the stiffer end of the chassis loses traction first

play around wiht car set up..
I like having a rear strut tower bar, and no strut tower bar on the front. Yess it will make a difference. But the driver is usually the cause of understeer. so once you replace the driver, your all set.

a strut bar wont make that big of a difference. right now im only running a rear strut bar, and i barely noticed any change when i took off my front for hood clearance issues. a rear SWAY bar will give you dramatically better results to reduce understeer.

I don't know about you, but without my front struts, my car would have nothing for the shocks to mount too. :P

My front Strut bar made a difference in my set up. Its a Carbing strut bar with MCS!! So the brake feel is waaaaaaaaay better. More Responsive IMO.

yes, everything else constant; adding or thickening a front *strut bar will tend to increase understeer. that is not necessarily a bad thing, depending on how you drive and what you are driving in.
