DV, I am not disputing your accomplishments - You are the Man! There are many race cars and some street cars that run big springs and no sway bar. 1.73 on the skid pad! There has to be a whole lot more to it than just removing a sway bar. That is obviosuly a full on race car. An ACR Viper, which I would classify as a borderline race car, can only pull 1.08g per Car and Driver. Enzo Ferrari - 1.01. I suspect dv's car falls in line with the street driven occaisional track car like mine. Apples & Oranges?

Lots of body roll and oversteer is screaming for higher front spring and or sway bar rates PERIOD.
Don't take my work for it. See what the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Tuning Guide recommends.

DV, to anwer your question, I like 500lb springs in the front (with the front sway bar). This coupled with bilstein 250lb coilovers (mounted straight up) in the rear and a .70 rear sway bar seems to keep the car in a neutral to slight understeer condition.
