DVCobra,
Sounds just like the ones I built! I would go to the 250 on the rear. The rack is perfect. (Power steering does make these cars a llittle twitchy.) I would definately go with at least the stock CR REAR bar. We took the front one off completely until DVII came along and then had the resources and the pros to help us out with the front sway bar. This is where I put one together from "Speedway Motors".

On hard turns your tires should "roll over" about 1/4" onto the sidewalls. Once you get all the minor stuff taken care of it will be time to put your pit crew to work. If you have an area without the cops and the chance of hitting anything, mark of a 100' circle, have a pyrometer handy with probe or even the new heat guns will work. Push the car as hard as you can without spinning out then take four temperatures per tire, side to side and record the numbers. This will tell you if the car needs stiffer weight, looser, air pressure to high/low.
Report back! It's all fun from here out!
