handling strange



OK here is my car's suspension setup.  Neuspeed race springs, 
Bilstein sport shocks and struts, Autotech lower sub-frame, Autotech 
upper strut bar, Autotech hollow front lower sway bar and a Autotech 
hollow lower rear sway bar.

Here's what happened...  I installed all those components at once.  
As a result I never knew how much of a difference one component made 
instead I only knew how much of a difference the whole system made.  
Which was good but the car did understeer a bit.
Recently the bracket that hold the passenger side of the front sway 
broke.  (the brackets autotech gives you are horrable)  Since this 
happened the actually seems to handle better.  Rather then the front 
end always plowing, I now get a slight sqealing front the rear tires 
indicated slight oversteer.  Which I find good, very good.
Is this just my  imagination or does it actually make sense?
Are my A-arms going to twisted abnormally by not having the front 
sway bar connected properly?
