well, i don't auto-x, but i do have a rear sway bar. i do know
that it was a little difficult to attach it the way i wanted it,
but it does signifigantly reduce body roll, and it looks like it
performs the same functions as joe's camber compensator. other
things to note: stock front suspension setup and poly bushings
all around, other than that, stock suspension. the most notable
change i noticed was a greater tendancy towards oversteer.
