That's our problem in OZ - the road a rough and ****!!!

Newies cost between $40-$80.

Being a bit over-dramatic, normal driving won't seen any of those things happen. My BA has to be doing 80kph before the rear is affected by lift-off oversteer. But I do have some wide tyres there also.

Yes I noticed the same thing, I wasn't impressed by my 20mm sway bar as I installed coilvers 1st and they did 90% on the bars job.
