Oh no... I think you're mistaken here. If you had driven the 710 and played around with the adjustable rear roll center, you will notice that with a higher roll center, the rear of the car rotates VERY easily when compared to lower roll center. Very fast in and out of the corners. I don't quite like it but some drivers prefer this. I guess it's just a matter of whether the Tx end is able to control it !

Playing around with the rear sway bars will affect on power steering. Playing with the rear roll centers will not affect the on power steering balance.

Anyway, I think I'm confused here. You mentioned earlier that you modded your upper rear arms already with the dremel. So now you say you have not?
