>From my experience, you cannot put a big enough sway (anti-roll) bar on the
front. I have a 1" bar on my race car - and no rear sway bar. A rear bar will
increase roll stiffness at the rear end of the car. This will increase
oversteer, a condition known in NASCAR as "loose". This will help your car
swap ends if you drive it too hard. Richard Mayor.
