After a year and a half on the rear Eibach I had gotten used to the increased understeer and adapted, being happy enough with the dramatically reduced "floaty" and sidestepping rear end while cornering. More reading on here about the difference the front bar makes had me decide to put one in. I already knew how the steering felt on some of my favorite "hooning" corners (like hard left onto the Bungler Hwy at 114th South), so when I went back to them to test the front Eibach it felt amazing to not have to fight the inward pull of the steering wheel anymore: in fact, steering feedback throughout any and all curves is sensitive, consistent and smooth, no variation whatsoever. Now when I start to feel understeer is only when gription is at the "tire singing" point, so, no understeer to speak of anymore. I have never used the Eibach bars on "hard", only "soft".
(Note: Oversteer and understeer terms continue to bother me. I don't know what my problem is with this, since I have the "chart", hah:

But what I feel, since putting in the stiffer front sway bar, is much less tendency of the steering wheel to pull suddenly inward when cornering "spiritedly": this I take to be understeer, since the increased steering arc of the wheel does not translate into a suddenly tighter turn. As I described above, the stiffer front bar reduced this tendency enormously, yet I read that the way to reduce "oversteer" is to get a stiffer front sway bar: so, I don't know, and maybe I never will: I can only describe what I feel.)
