Question for those of you running a factory rear swaybar

If you were running no swaybar and then put back on the factory rear sway bar, what kind of improvements did you see at the track?

I ran no rear sway bar for awhile then bought a spohn 1in. rear sway bar, thats not stock of course but it made a difference in my car. It definately helped straighten out the launch. The stock sway bar on my car was really small so I'm not sure it would have made much difference but maybe some of the larger WS6 type might be better.

I've been autocrossing mine all year, and I finally found a good combo for the rear. Im running the stock progressives with 2 coils cut, a 24mm bar, bilstein shocks, boxed panhard, and LCA relocators on the closest hole to factory (almost flat).

Result: No wheel hop, no lift, slight throttle oversteer on steady turns when mated with a 32mm front on 600in/lb springs. Hope this helps.
