That COMPLETELY depends on the car. There are multiple reasons for understeer and oversteer and multiple solutions. 240's don't have much issue with understeer. The PRIMARY concern is limiting on-throttle oversteer. Thanks, but I understand pretty well how swaybars work.

Yes, the higher the better. I was planning on mounting my engine ABOVE the hood for maximum oil pan protection.
