Rear bars are great way to reduce under steer on these cars. Everyone who tried one would know. The problem is that they modify the balance of the car in such way that it is fun when driven by an expert, but could be quite dangerous in the hands of novice. Dry surfaces are ok almost for everyone, especially if the car is not driven too hard, but on wet surfaces things change quite dramatically. And I am not talking about when driving quick on wet, being on top of the game. My point is when a kid shows on the road in between the parked cars and the driver panics and steers and brakes following his instincts – then the new found balance of the car may make him pay the toll and the price could be way too high.
Same thing goes with all those high performance kits, like the Shine. It is great stuff, but in the wrong hands is dangerous! If you drive slow, it is not an issue, but usually people get these things to go faster, thinking that “I now have this great suspension, I could fly around corners!” and that is where the trouble starts, because it is very easy to control and recover a stock balanced car, but it takes a lot of experience and knowledge to be faster with modified car. Everybody thinks they want over steer, because they think they know how to deal with it, but is not quite the case. Sliding your car on a huge empty parking lot in the rain is one thing, avoiding a felt on the ground biker on a blind off-ramp at full speed in the rain is something totally different!
Driving modified cars fast requires more attention and constant attention. (And again – if driven fast. If you baby it around, you do not need to modify it in the first place). I personally prefer (these days) a safer and easier car to drive, one that does not make me concentrate all the time. I like it to be under steering at all the time, in all situations. It is safer and easier to control in panic situations. So, no bars for me. And because of that, I can’t really recommend you something that I do not use in first place. You may say that the stock balanced car is boring and I would agree with you. The latest experiments we are doing is with just stiffening the rear springs, leave the front alone – It does the trick pretty well, the car gets little bit more fun to drive, still under steering, but little bit less, it rolls less, but does keep the sweet predictability of the rear, so it is pretty safe in panic maneuvers, etc.
But all this is personal choice and I know that nobody agrees with it. Not even trying to convince people anymore. You asked my personal view and here it is. Rear bar requires more skills in some situations. Many lack those skills and that means potentially they are in bigger danger if they drive their cars hard without the necessary knowledge. The problem is that you will see many posts that say: “I have such and such bar and never lost my car!”, but you will never see posts of the type: “Yesterday I spun my car under the rain when I did a lift-throttle while was turning, like a total novice”, because people never post about these things....
