Sway bar has no effect on rake or camber, in a static environment. The purpose of removing the sway bar is to soften the effective spring rate in a cornering situation. This promotes weight transfer in order to take weight off of the rear end so that it can slide more easily. Chassis slip angle is your friend, up to a point, in loose surface competition.

However, that is a discussion for else where. Not something relevant to this comparison of cars.
