I was under the impression that our cars were more prone to oversteer.

Undertsteer is correct unless you have a Nismo. They are pretty darn neutral out of the box. The V1 Nismo's. I have never driven a V2 Nismo.

Talking

Hotchkiss sway bar on the front. If you are square. You can eliminate the rear bar. If stagger, use a rear bar.

Actually not at all. Best example is if you try to do a slalom in slower/moderate speeds. The car will understeer quite a lot way before the rear will snap out. If you put a rear sway bar, suddently the nose feels pointy and precise and no more understeer. I was quite amazed at the difference it made, immediately reminded me of most sporty versions of bmw (saying this because I have most experience with them).
