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?

.., but I thought weltmeister 180’s were too stiff for the street.


See, I'm not sure on that.. but then Larmo's using #225 and it's a street car.

.. Also depends what’s in the front.


Stock torsion bars, 19mm front sway bar and #140 rear springs at the moment. I think I'll install the rear brackets while I'm welding in other things.. but just wait on sourcing a bar for a while.
