Is there a point where a stiff(er) [than stock] rear spring negates the need for a rear sway bar? I've got a set of #140 welts that I'd been planning to use with or without a rear sway bar for sporty street car handling and probably some A/X.. but would jumping up to say a #180 spring and no sway bar be a better choice (both seem a bit much?).. or would it be better to use a stock rear sway bar and lighter springs?

It’s a preference thing, but I thought weltmeister 180’s were too stiff for the street. However I liked the rebel racing 175’s on my car. Also depends what’s in the front. I ran a 22mm sway bar up front with 21mm torsion bars and 140lb rear springs and sway bar for years. Very happy with the setup. Some guys prefer stock torsion bars up front with 140’s in the rear. These cars are fun to experiment with. Pick a setup and then autocross it to see what you like. It is easy to pop off a rear sway bar drop link between runs. Big crescent wrench to put it back on.
