[Elantra GT] Tiburon rear sway bar upgrade for the Elantra / Elantra GT

[H Z]

I was wondering whether a rear strut bar will help with the "liveliness" in the rear? I have the 19.2mm bar but the way I drive my car, I don't feel a whole lot of difference from the stock bar.

I second that. With the 19.2 mm rear roll bar the handling is similar to
what you would want in a an autocrossing car. Very easy to rotate. But
you don't want that "liveliness" in the street, specially when it is wet.
Also, I don't like it when the inside rear tire comes off the ground
during hard cornering! To compensate for that I pump my rear tires to 37
psi, while carrying 34 psi on front. Yesterday, I was taking the on ramp
at full bore and the rear end was all over the place! later I checked the
tire pressures, I had 35 psi all around!. It is fun to drive a FWD car
hard in corner w/o the front end plowing to the outside.
