Once you lighten the car enough it's easy to do. Our Prelude has a 22mm rear bar (biggest we could find) and the rear swings like a pendulum in a quick lift off-throttle or during trail-braking. Once you get used to it, you'll actually like it.

Yeah the weight on the rear is down to 1035lbs and I went from a 19mm rear bar to 27mm. I then slotted the end and have it adjusted as soft as possible. I'm getting used to it and it is fun to rotate it at will. :D

That was a lot of fun, especially Saturday in the wet and the snow, although my feet were still cold on Monday. I always have the most fun driving on wet pavement. I went through the ventilation system on the Duff car yesterday and figured out why the heat didn't work, one of the actuator cables under the dash was bound up. We now have heat again. We still have no windows, but at least my feet are warm.
