stabilizer bars?

Which stabilizer would one upgrade if one wanted more oversteer/understeer? A fatter one up front or a fatter one rear? I was talkin with a buddy o mine with an A6 Avant Quattro, and he said to make the rear one fatter for more oversteer. That may be the case with his all-wheel-drive car, but could it be different for a 944?
Also, which year/model 944 did/didnt have a stabilizer in the rear? I have an 86, and never recognized one being there. I'll have to look again tonight. Had it for ten years, handled so friggin good, never thought about needing to upgrade stabilizers before...

Wink

just remember the golden rule for sway bars:

thick in the front: can't do stunts.

thick in the rear: oversteer!

you can also get oversteer by changing shocks from softer to harder. the turbo rear ones were the thickest i believe. have fun and good luck!
