rear swaybar installed...but understeer?

got my progress rear swaybar set to the stiffest setting which is equivalent of a tanabe bar.

went to test it out and normal driving the car is awesome, rear is really planted and more predictable.

i give me friend a ride and i do my usual stuff and do circles and shit, but i get crazy understeer. i have federal 595s in the front and some bald winter tires in the rear. i go from 1st to 2nd, and i turn in to start my circles and it won't even go sideways unless i clutch kick at least once or twice. before i was able to do it with ease.

whats going on? if i take a corner hard while gripping i wont understeer tho.

but when im doing some 60km/hr circles it understeers, i don't get it.

keep in mind i have stock sway bars on my s14. I'm running on springs and gr2s, so no coilovers.

i thought i would get some crazy oversteer but its actually the opposite affect.

i'll try again when i have time but i'm pretty sure this result will be the same again later on.

don't get me wrong i can still get sideways, but its leaning more towards an understeer. i cant even do 2 full rounds of a semi big circle without having to pop the clutch or ebraking it to extend it. before i just had to turn out and back in to get back sideways.

someone please enlighten me. thanks!

ps: could it be that the vlsd fluid wasn't warm enough? the engine was semi cold, not at the 1/2 way mark on the thermostat.
