The understeer can be corrected but you have to be willing to live with increased front camber and increased tire wear that may result. It works out pretty well for a track setup as you want the increased camber anyway, but for a street setup the Stillen is the better compromise.

yeah, not worth it for the street. I've heard they're fantastic for a track car though.

Stillen sway bars are a really good choice for the street.
