Installed stb not sure if I like it

Just installed an stb in my car the back end feels loose and likes to kick out easier not sure if I like it. Anyone else notice this?

Well, it does stiffens the front end a bit... but yes, I've noticed it as well, but it doesn't bother me much.

Can you tell me the rest of your suspension spec? Sway bars, tires, springs, anything you know.

Feather-light suspension, Konis just couldn't hold. I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors.

Cool. Does it drive straight, wearing the tires well? Have you ever had it aligned? I'm guessing not.
