"you have got to be kidding"

[Sexymeatball]

So I have just discovered through the use of a nifty little tool called a caliper, that I have a 24/23 (frt/rear) swaybar combo. "You have got to be kidding" as per the comment on shophoenixproject.com. So now that i know why my handling feels "funny" (translated as severe understeer) when throwing hard into a turn. what is the easiest/cheapest way to fix this? I know 20.6/26 seems to be the ideal combo, but money is at a premium for a college student and if it is going to be more than a few hundred to fix it, I'm tempted to just leave it alone.

24/26 is not a bad combination with a stock differential. With a Quaife, you probably want a bit smaller front sway bar.

So, in your case, I would just get a 26mm rear sway bar and call it a day for now. The rear bar is much easier to change than the front, and it will make your car handle much better.

What you have is certainly drivable, it's just not going to be optimum. Leaving it as it is is a good option if you don't have the $$.

If you can get either a 26mm rear or a 20.6mm front (or thereabouts) cheaply, putting either into what you have now will help. i.e., 24/26 or 20.5/23.
