Default Font sway bar?

Ok I have done the following to my car:
Front and reart Hotckiss sway bars
Front DC Sport Strut bar
H&R coilovers
rear camber adjustments
Alignment with 1.5 negative camber in the rear and the fronts are about .5 negative.

I just got back from a track day at Mid Ohio and seemed to be pushing a little bit. Now has anyone with a similar setup corrected this with reducing the front sway bar to the lower setting?

Thoughts?

I was thinking about that. The rear is on the stiffest, but I may get new tires first. Trying to kill off these factory ones before getting new ones.

No pushing as in the front... rear is planted like crazy and does not move.

Yep, push is understeer, which a fwd has too much of to start with. A stiffer rear sway will promote oversteer.. which is a little more controllable and useable in the correct amount. A stiffer front will add understeer. As mentioned above, I would keep the front on the softest setting and stiffen the rear if needed, this will help balance it out a little more
