In my echo, and on my old slicks, in bumpy corners, I absolutely felt a difference with the strut bar. The front end gripped while the rear didn't, I had oversteer in a couple corners while I was getting used to it, almost got in trouble.

what were your tire pressures? (this has a lot more to do with your issue than any suspension component, especially on R comps)
