Why do you feel you need a sway bar at this point? What has changed that leaves you wanting one?

OK... my point is that a sway bar "may" not help you. It is a tuning device and not just to reduce body roll, but rather address mild to moderate understeer/oversteer issues. Ideally, it is used to find a balance between understeer/oversteer on a street driven car.

What are the ULTIMATE goals for your car?

When you push your car hard in the corners, does it tend to understeer or oversteer? If you don't know, you don't need a sway bar
