> Excessive stock understeer can be fixed on the cheap by the old shadetree autocrosser trick of beefing up the rear roll bar. Just use two cable clamps on each end of the center section of the stock rear bar to clamp on a similar short length of bar. I cut the ends off of an old stock bar from my Accord and used it. This is a fairly limited trick, but it sure is cheap! Careful, you can get too much rear bar and go into oversteer this way.

i was asked for more details but i can only speculate so here it goes.

not sure exactly how they do it but i think you would clamp like a 6" length of bar in the area where it says “end link twists”. for good measure i guess you would want to clamp a long section in the middle also. the idea is to make the bar stiffer by not allowing it to twist as much. hope that helps
