does the STi have a LSD in the front diff? the reason i ask is that i also wonder if the bar doesn't just work in a mechanical grip sense, but also in manipulating the AWD system. if, when cornering, the big front bar causes the inside front to be light under corner exit, would that not cause the diff to transfer power to the outside front and perhaps to the rear also? that would in turn cause the car to tuck in and possible oversteer on exit, right? :?
Scotty I've thought the same thing with the Subaru autox guys who remove their rear bars. Would a bigger front bar have the same effect on a BMW or Porsche? Or even a RSX?
