I know because I run 8K/10K springs on my KW's.
How is the street ride with those rates? I just got back from Portland where a friend let me drive his R32 (4wd VW) and I can not believe how good the kw1's on his car felt on the street and on the track, I think that sold me.

A rear bar applies traction to the front of the car. If it's already running neutral, (getting the car where it's sliding around a corner and both the front and rear break loose at the same time) a rear sway bar would induce over steer, aka the rear end coming loose first and trying to swing around the front end which still has traction.

This is why I bought the Cusco 23mm adjustable rear sway bar and Im waiting to install it after i get some adj. end links, and I got it from AMS for a great deal used.
