Point being, as I mentioned, you do want to maximize corner exit and get earlier on the throttle and not sure how much difference a sway bar adds to improving the rear squat/grip. TCKline is running stock engine with TCK D/A's with low spring rates ( 350f/600r - to maximize rear squat) and Hoosiers and NO front sway and getting 1:39 at Laguna Seca, and has set numerous lap records considering the light mods.

For aggressive driving through the twisties you cannot steer with the throttle as that would be far too aggressive for public roads. If doing aggressive street/canyon driving and occasional track time, no front sways but a good D/A system are probably the better route, given the higher cost will little benefit in terms of lap times and increasing understeer on the street (which IMO, is very undesirable given how often I go for spirited weekend driving).

You do want to stiffen the front bar because you want more weight on the rear axle so you can put down more power and do what you should be doing in the E9X M3...steer it with the throttle.
