I'm pondering how swaybars can make a car turn faster lap times. Let's say
you upgrade to a larger front bar on a RWD car that normally oversteers
at the limit. In theory you will lessen oversteer. Is this because the
front end will begin to understeer before the rear oversteers. OR, is the
traction/cornering limit (friction circle) of the rear actually increased?
