    In response to nicke

There's a lot of good advise & information to ponder in this thread.

Earlier in the thread you asked "Can you speak a little more to the negative affects of sway bars?"

Not really a negative, just some more information to ponder - The "balance of adhesion" (do you like that term? - I just made it up ) will change depending on the sizes of sway bars front & rear - the larger the front bar (in comparison to the rear one), the more understeer you'll get & likewise, as you stiffen up the rear it will create more oversteer.

Powerful, rear-drive cars (such as ours) have a natural tendency to be a bit "tail-happy", which would be why you don't generally see cars with a rear sway bar & nothing on the front - & when there's a bar at both ends the front will be larger.

Like I said, it's not a negative (I'm a fan of decent sway bars) - it's just some more points to ponder.

One more thing Nick, I'm going to do a bit of "cross threading" here (no, I didn't make that one up, just using it in a different context)...
Your other hot thread in this forum regarding a friendly grudge match - don't stiffen up your front suspension until after that event (no point in giving up any advantage).

There is light at the end of the tunnel..... hopefully, it's not a train.
