        Make sure you have the mounts on the trailing arms reinforced or the swaybar will tear them off.

          Yep that happened to me last auto-x. Had to source a new trailing arm and welded on the reinforcements this time. If you upsize the rear bar, definitely get the reinforcements.

              My car was running 350/500, with Eibach sways and 205 R comps as a track car for a few years before I got it.

              Sway bar tabs are as true as the day they came out of the factory.

                  That is okay, but not a lot stronger than the OE tab. To do it right a part of the reinforcement needs to bend up and be welded to the trailing arm. Tuner sells a reinforcement like that which triangulates the loads. I've bent the simple reinforcement, like above, on my Spec E30 (22/19mm IE sways).
                  The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
