of course it should reduce body roll, it's an anti-roll bar after all isn't it? i don't see why it wouldn't and there would be a lot of pissed off customers.
The swaybar is a great addition to the car. Reduces body roll, makes the car drive like it is on rails! One of the best things you can upgrade on your Fit!

If you think about it, it reduces body roll in the front which would seem like it reduces oversteer also because the car can't "roll" into the turn as much. That's just my theory, I have no actual info, but if someone could chime in that would be great.
It keeps your front tires flat on the ground and in a better position to get traction rather than leaning your car into the corner twisting up the wheel geometry like a soggy french fry.
The bar is very noticeable once you have it installed, it should be very apparent that the traction around corners is being maximized thanks to the wheels being kept in place (where they should be for optimum) by a stiffer bar.
So less body roll & increased traction.
Caution: May cause more fun on off-ramps

I think what most people are complaining about when it comes to oversteer is when they screw up and plow their car on a hot corner and then wonder why they can't regain control. With a soggy loose setup the car could roll enough for the tire to catch an edge (similar to when you really f-ck up on a snowboard) and it shoots you out to the side... I would say if you learn the limits of your car you should only have a slight squeal as you hit a corner at most and the bar will actually improve how quickly you can get around it... even against somebody who is rolling the car to the limits and riding the sidewall.

AJ POWER! I STILL HAVENT GOT A REPLY FOR T1R REAR SPRINGS! my ver.1 is stock height rear!
and btw i really think imma get this bar. I wanted a rear sway but i heard about the oversteer in high speed cornering so it scared me off. I think a larger front with a rear will be nice once they meet together
yeah but the thing is our car has no rear sway to begin with so adding one will make a drastic change to the suspension. That's why i want to add the enlarged front to help balance it out and also to further reduce roll

they prolly are better but i want more bang for my buck. F/R sway plus upgraded dampers! I figure i wont need the height adjust too much so just go ahead and spend that towards sways. Still deciding on whether or not i will need strut bars or not...
