Question Sway Bars

What kind of sway bar setup would promote oversteer/understeer? (stiff in back or in front) I hear good things about Suspension Techniques bars' performance, but i also heard that the bars were so stiff that they would bend the tension rod (the thing connecting the sway bar to the car itself). Is this true? If so is there any way to fix this problem, like reinforced rods?

Thanks.

i have also heard that they will bend the tension rods, but now worry because twosrus.com sells some heavy duty tension rods that will take the abuse, the suspension techniques bars, if i remember right,(a friend in tulsa has them on his mr2) promote an excellent handling ride, with slight oversteer when you want it

Stiffening the front = increased understeer
Stiffening the rear = increased oversteer

I have the ST sway bars and I am quite pleased with them.
They rears have two options for mounting to alter the amount of oversteer you get.

I heard that the TRD rear sway-bars are good if you are attempting to drift your MR2.
