I am certainly not forgetting that.  But the increase in the sway bar was an
effort to compensate for the decrease in rear roll stiffness.

Don't forget too that when BL added the swing-spring they also 
increased the stiffness of the front (anti)sway bar.  It principle 
this combination should solve the tuck-under problem but increase 
understeer, thus decreasing the ultimate lateral g's you can obtain.  
I kinda' like the feel of my Spitfire's stock suspension, slightly 
sagging at the rear, but then, I gave up worrying about ultimate 
lateral g's a long time ago.  If I ain't competin' then it don't 
really matter.

Your mileage will certainly vary...

Tomorrow we're gonna' terrorize farm stands with the GT6, the Lord 
willin' and the creek don't rise.
