"The car understeers with this setup and it understeered withe the drop spindles. I took the front bar off and the car would oversteer quite a bit. I haven't tried a stock 24mm bar."

You mean the car with Sparco springs and no front sway bar oversteered a lot right? And you haven't tried that stup with a stock bar yet right?

I had basically that setup on my gold, I had shankle SS rear springs, stock torsion bars, and the puny 22mm sway bar. I was just fooling around at the time, as I knew what th eend result would be: snap oversteer.

With the ex-Larry suspension, you're saying that drop spindles didn't help understeer at all? Because that pretty much would be the situation where I would have thought drop spindles would have helped (not having excessive spring rates, allowing the car to roll a bit and utilizing more negative camber when cornering hard).

I'm really curious, you've pretty much tried the drop spindles with a lot of setups....what DID they do? You felt something change, right?

So, I wast talking about switching sway bars around with the drop spindles. If you'll humor me, I can take a 24mm bar to Infinion and inbetween track sessions (there are 4-5 and the gaps can be up to 45 minutes inbetween our driving sessions) and swap out the two bars for one session, and you could go out and see how it is. I was thinking this should make the car understeer less, but there's no real way for me to know. If this sounds like too much hassle for you, that's OK too.
