You are correct. Should have read my own article a little more closely, I guess.

Anyway, the point is, changing the sway bar will change the way the car handles. That's really the whole point. If you're not careful, you could create an evil handling car in certain situations.

Before making any changes, carefully evaluate how the car handles, then - and only then - make the appropriate changes. Re-evaluate the car, and be prepared to make more changes if necessary.
