Neuspeed Rear only? I had the H-Sports on my Allroad and it transformed the car. How woudl the rear only effect the handling compared to front and rear?

Default You won't get neutral steering - I think what you're LOOKING for is neutral handling

But it doesn't seem like the Street Sports would be your best choice to fulfill that requirement as they are pretty soft.

Default Neuspeed 19mm on firm setting makes my car pretty neutral, if not some oversteer

Default I run the Neuspeed 21mm rear bar, no front bar, 500 lb linear springs all around. If

If by neutral, you mean "no tendency to understeer or oversteer", this setup accomplishes it. Try just removing your front bar and see what happens. It's free. I guarantee it will reduce understeer.

Default I did some deep searching on this and heard mxed reports. I ran without for a while and...

It did seem better. By better I mean the steering seemed more responsive and the handling more neutral. However it certainly did lean a bit more. It seems like a better balanced front/rear setup would be better or possibly a stiffer spring rate. I'm on the SR GT suspension and love it's combo of handling AND a nice ride so I'll probably bump up the sway bars.

Might pull that front off again though, it did seem better and it is free. It could be years before I get around to the sway bars...
