It will depend on how the company that made the springs tuned them.
A larger RSB will also be autox legal for stock class as long as you only change one.

Also, I do custom rate setups for my cars and have rarely ever done OTS so whatever I do for suspension down the road will be designed for my needs and based on my plans for the car. Which means I'll either change back to the stock sway bar (I never sell stock parts either) and run higher rates in the rear or leave the bigger rsb and run lower rates.

I like my RWD cars to dance. My S2000 was setup that way and it was perfect for autocross, although other drivers couldn't match my times in my car since it was setup for my driving style specifically :P I think it's due to my history/experience with setting up fast FWD cars, changed the way I want cars to feel at the limits.
