Running a 32mm WS6 front sway bar and 23mm 91 formula rear sway bar, and poly ended LCAs and a poly ended Spohn short TA, which is causing the oversteer more? I'd like to keep the rear bar if possible for removing the front bar and having a cheap drag bar at the strip, but its loose on backcountry roads.

Id bet the rear bar, that thing is big.
Why not just add a 35mm or 36mm front bar to compensate?
Ditch the poly LCA's for rotojoint or something non-poly, and ditch the short torque arm for a full length one, the car will feel much better afterwards.

The entire combination isn't complimentary for handling, however I would imagine the rear bar is having the greatest impact on your oversteer condition.

The issue with the poly LCA's would be binding in hard cornering, however that's a separate issue from the sway bars.

Ill try the stock 19mm bar first, if that doesnt do it Ill go back to rotos on the LCAs. I have 295/35/18s on all 4 corners.

WHY did you get rid of the Roto-Joints (in favor of poly) in the first place??

They DO NOT hurt your 60'/launch AT ALL!!!

They were probably "too loud"

I posted in another thread, I have like 11 heim joints in total on my car right now, and it isn't much louder that a stock 16 year old Camaro would be. Plus no binding

I had a 9" with 4.33s and a spool with the rotos, and I hated it on the street, got frustrated and sold that setup and went too far backwards for comfort again. Ill do 1 sided rotos eventually, I got these super cheap. It wasnt loud, the shitty setup 9" sent so much vibration through my *** if I was a woman Id be orgasming the whole drive. As you can see Im not making enough power to set the world on fire, I just needed to keep something to prevent wheelhop to save the 10 bolt.

+1 on this, I have a BMR front 35MM solid (poly ends), and rear 21 or 22 mm solid (poly ends) on Sara (2001 Z28), and from a dead stop, if I give it too much acceleration, the rear end wants to come around on me.

Sara is great on cornering, she drives as though she is on "rails".

Just chiming in here that I recommend poly/rod-end LCAs. Just keep them greased every few months or so and mind the chattering noises they make; it's completely normal.

What are the BMR spring rates?

I think 600 front and 160 rear

Once change at a time, swap out the rear bar since it's easier than changing LCA joints. Then see how the car is.

Also...are your tires old/bald? Shitty rear tires will let you be tail happy as well.
