Actually, mine handles the rough stuff very well.Had it up in the edges of the Kenilworth State Forest a while back and it seemed preety tame and controllable on the ruts, potholes and corrugations.

I am waiting for my service guy to come up with a plan to sort a rack (and column) rattle which probably infuences my feeling of poor handling over corrugations. That and the lower profile tyres on the slx pumped to 38psi. Also, I suspect you were going a lot faster than me which sometimes helps.
Well i got the bar from signature and fitted it up- it corners beautifully now !! gone is the tendency to fall into corners when there is a dip or bump mid corner. Its positive and predictable, under steer is gone, the limiting factor now is tyre traction as it can really be thrown around with confidence. Ended up getting 20mm bar and side by side compared to the standard bar makes you wonder why the bothered with 14mm ? Doesn't feel any harsher ride.
having looked underneath the car well now, i suspect getting the front bar out is a major job ??
Great Photo Guide Stkman. From what I've read I might need to do a similar mod if I upgrade to an i45 ...

From what I've read you might need to do more than that... however, I also read that Hy are looking at making some changes themselves after the motoring press universally caned it.By the time you get one it might already be fixed.

understeer is the enemy... in a fwd you should aim for pretty neutral handlingyou really dont want oversteer in a car with no weight on the rear axle... it just turns out badly
Agreed, but as I said (and I don't direct this to you Agent) a FWD will always understeer in the end because the weight and the drive (and the steering) are all at the same end.
