This is "... usually a torsion spring that resists body roll motions." This is in contrast to a strut bar "... designed to reduce ... strut tower flex by tying two parallel strut towers together."

Likewise, a stiffer rear will increase oversteer. That said, I had a 97 Integra some time back and installed an adjustable rear sway bar. I adored its steering responsiveness in the summer but also managed to scare myself several ti
