"If the ability of the upper control arms to change their effective length is hindered by a noncompliant bushing material, the suspension will bind up, and not move freely. The resulting restriction in the ability of the rear suspension to freely articulate will cause poor handling; the car will have a tendency to oversteer, and it may do so in a sudden and unpredictable manner."

Did you order A arms as well? You can't run the stockers with the MM K.

I installed front coil overs and the control arms last winter.

The next logical step after the installation of the MM Panhard Bar is the installation of a MM Torque-arm. Upon installation of the MM Torque-arm the rear upper control arms are be completely removed. This solves the bushing deflection problem, and finally removes the last source of binding in the rear suspension

So with that said, I'll try without the torque-arm for the summer.
The newer s197 has a Panhard bar... But with only a 3 link.
