The AS STI guys are have great success running a huge front bar and big sticky tires. Search NASIOC and IWSTI for the details, but the bottom line is, big (like super big, like 29mm super big) front swaybars are a good thing in AS.
Two things:

YOUR
and
INHERENT



Moving on, Brian, you would do well to consider the jumbo AS Strano bar discussed by Dean in the other thread. Given your finish last weekend in PAX and AS, it's definitely going to help your times enough to be worth the compromises for daily use.
