Great writeup. One question: You said you experienced increased understeer after the install. Did you install a larger front sway bar at the same time? I ask because usually a stiffer rear sway bar will decrease understeer, while a stiffer front bar will increase it.

Yes, the understeer was a result of the front sway bar.

I essentially eliminated the understeer by increasing camber with adjustable upper control arms.
