Not to worry. The biggest difference you'll notice with either bar is
reduced body roll and more controllable understeer. You'll love it! As
with any new car or handling modification to an existing car, it's wise
to gently probe the limits under safe conditions in order to develop a
feel for it. That's part of what separates "drivers" from people who are
just "passengers sitting behind the wheel".
