if you up your spring rates you will be fine. lots of guys run small or no sways with high spring rates. with that said too stiff will probably screw your launch cause it wont hunch down as much.

I pulled my rear bar as well as bumper support's to lighten it up. It obvioulsy pushes more in the corners (understeers) but that is irrelavant to you. I felt as if the car squated more when I did it but ****ty tire's are keeping me from netting a better 60'.
