I think I read one company said front bar on talon is good enough but other companies like suspension techniques off front and rear bars.Opinions on this.I am not very happy with the talon handling stock.
Anyway have the front and rear bars? How do you like them.Is the ride still not too bad?
 
My car came from the factory as a non-turbo. So all Ihad was the front bar. After adding the rear it was a world of difference.

With the stock front bar and a rear 1" thick ST sway bar the car is so damn neutral it's great. The ST bar is also adjustable so you can dial in some under/oversteer if you desire it. I absolutely love the set-up. Now I just need a set of Eibach Pro Kits. :)
 
The ST bars are designed to reduce body roll without changing the handling balance of the car. Remember a "sway bar" is really a torsion bar and through it you increase weight transfer at that end of the car, thus reducing grip at one end of the car.
Note that this does NOT reduce total weight transfer of the car, that is determined by lateral force and roll center height.

So by just putting on a larger bar you can reduce understeer.
 
?
id like for the answer to be that the stock front sway bar is sufficient, that would save me some $.. but thats a practical question.
 
If all your lookin to do is get the car to "point" better than just change the rear.......
