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?

Mine is a 3.2 six conversion. I have 200# rear coil overs with stock front 4 cylinder torsion bars. All the bushings are Elephant which makes the car feel stockish on the road. I do use a stock rear sway bar and a Taret front bar. I like the front soft so I can tune with the Taret bar. If you have a four cylinder, your 140# Welts should be fine.
As you can see, at full song she handles perfectly flat.
