Bingo!

One thing to note, that with the Eibach bar set, the closest you can get to "oversteer ratio" is identical to stock; that is with the front bar set to the softest of 2 settings and the rear bar set to the stiffest of 3 settings. The Whiteline bars are a completely different animal though since their front bar is similar in stiffness to Eibach's front, but the Whiteline rear is mega stiff even on the softest setting.

Talking with Eibach, these bars of theirs were made in conjunction with the Prokits springs are all all tailored to one another...so far I'd agree with that statement running just the rear bar, but we'll see once I get the front bar installed as well. My plan is to run the front on soft and rear on stiff (currently set to medium).

Adding the front bar, id agree going to it will probably be the cats meow for what your are looking for handling wise since the prokit springs are progressive. Pay attention to your front tire wear on the inside edge, it may increase with the new front bar. You may need to decrease the amount of camber needed to even out the front tire wear again.

Haha, is there ever a need for more oversteer than stock? These cars do a pretty good job of kicking the tail out right off the lot.

Sounds like a really solid setup, increasing contact patch, reducing body roll, and keeping an effective balance. Everything working together is all you can ask for in a suspension setup.

Stock Evo 8/9s understeer horribly. The Evo X is a totally different AWD system/story though.

Agreed. Doing just the rear bar seemed far more effective on my IX than it did my X. With you X, you have to be careful not to go too stiff and over-power/upset the S-AWC system.

My final picture:

Long story short, Shawn & Mike drove down from MN in his '14 X GSR base, I sold my '10 X GSR SSS to Don Herring Mitsu, and Shawn traded in his for mine. You should have seen the salesman's face when he saw what all the road salt did to his carpet after only 7k miles and one partial winter! Probably not quite as clean as they were expecting for a few months old '14
