Oversteer from strut bars

I'm about to do a few suspension upgrades and I was going to start with strut bars. I have already gotten rrm's single tube front strut bar. I was also planning on getting a lower tie bar, rear strut bar, and upgrading to rrm's anitsway bar. if i combime those three together in the back am i going to go a bit too far in the back and possibly oversteer too much? I was thinking of scraping the rear strut bar and just doing the lower tie bar and anitsway. what do you guys think, what is too much?

I really dont think you will get any oversteer on the lancer platform with those mods... I do believe RDD is having a deal on a set of 4 bars. like $210 or something.

Get the ones you mentioned. They're great parts, and you will NOT get oversteer.
Until you grab a Progress rear sway bar.

too much oversteer is subjective... i have them all, the progress rear sway, and droped on tein SS kit... and i think the car is just right at the track... now urban had the same setup and he said it was too much and cause him to spin on the track... so its up to your personal taste... to let you know he said the lower rear tie is what pushed him over the edge...

very true, i have a progress rear sway bar now just sitting inmy garage not being used, and it will prolly never be used again due to the fact that it gave me so much oversteer, every other bar i have though, fabulous

I have RRM's Front Strut K-bar
RRM's Rear Strut bar
RDD's Rear Strut bar (yes, both)
RDD's Rear Trunk Brace
RDD's Lower Tie Bar

I just don't have a new antisway bar or perches yet. I don't have any problem with oversteer at all.

I have upgraded pretty much every suspension component available (that is not custom) to us except the new H brace for the front. The car is very well balanced and i get slight oversteer but typically only in places i want it.

I have found that all four bars w/ the upgraded rear sway bar to be very good and has been great for handling in the motorsports aspect. Its a personal preference and driving style choice.
