It would be more effective if mounted to a Fit with the c-pillar to tower crossbar or a rollcage. I could see Ben's fit oversteering with the sway bar because there is too much structural flex happening above the chassis to kind of counteract the extra ridgid subframe with the rear axle and swaybar causing too much oversteer.

The forward momentum of the upper half of the hatch continues to move when the lower frame has improved tracking. Without any reinforcement to the upper half connecting to the lower frame of the car, the top back of the car is more or less disconnected to the lower rear causing the abrupt oversteer.

I am not sure what ben has for bracing in the rear, but this is just speculation and I would think it would only benifit with rollcage type reinforcement. Swaybars Rock!
