NO! Why would he do this? There are several variables to consider before dumping $$$$. Just because they make parts does not mean you _NEED_ parts. What he needs to do is drive the car first and see how it reacts then make adjustments accordingly.

Edit: and anyways, you were not “partially right”. You were referring to a Honda platform when you made these allegations. Adding a front sway bar WILL theoretically increase understeer. If the car dramatically oversteers a front swaybar will help balance it out more, but NOT by adding MORE oversteer like you claimed.
