I was reading the article in excellence about the Max Moritz GT car, and apparently they disconnected the rear sway bar and it handled alot better. Would this be true on a mostly street car (914/6)?

If you got a aftermarket bigger front bar then you need a rear bar of at least stock dia.
I do my testing in a parking lot and push the car to it's limits. How fast I can go in relation to how much push or how lse the car gets. Speed is the variable here. Old guy at Autocross event says to me " Ya know son, if you disconnectthe rear bar you will go faster"... Well I did and DID NOT GO FASTER Pushed like my Explorer. Stayed with it for all runs and tried to drive through the crappy handling. ended up pushing do badly that I induced a snap spin. Pretty spectacular but not fast at all. So the moarl of the story is ........ Test you car where it is safe then figure out what to change. Then test again. Soft springs and big bars.
