Same here Geoff. MY car was very tail happy with the ST bars (F&R) and
eibachs, 235/265 tire combo and nylon bushings. This was with the rear
bar on the softer setting even. I've since gone to a stiffer front bar
(Tanabe) and left the rear bar at the softer setting. Handling was very
nuetral and would push just slightly. Switched to 235/255 and there's
now a slight oversteer tendency, which feels just right to me.

I'm thinking a whiteline front and stiff setting on the ST rear bar
might be a good setup with staggered tire widths too.

FWIW, I've just swapped the old shocks on my LTD Tacoma (Tokico) to the
off-road suspension (Bilstein) what a difference I dampening and overall
feel.

Ya..get the ST or the whitelite sway bars..run..dont walk.  :)  And no,
it wont rip anything off in general...maybe 1 in 100 of us have had that
problem, very rare.  But a HUGE difference.

For the best performance, however, ive found that soft in the rear is
better, ive traded Email with many people on the list privately who have
open tracked their car..who have had handling issues with the rear bar
full stiff.
