Choice of sway bar upgrades

If I'm mistaken in where this post belongs in the forums please move it where necessary, thanks.

Currently attempting to upgrade front/rear sways for the FRS.

On AirLift suspension with camber bolts up front and a strut bar, so I'm thinking of a rear sway bar to overdo the oversteer a little more, what's everybodies preference in whether it's more beneficial to upgrade front or rear and to what size? I've heard 17's working well, but what is the best choice for track driving with airlift suspension if I want it to really glue?

Thanks ahead of time.

Sounds like he wants it even more tail happy. Get stiffer springs and or bigger sway bar in the rear. Ezpz

What are the equivalent spring rates for the bags? Which gives out first in long sweepers? Does it push now?

I think this an interesting question. I have no idea about bags but I assumed bags were rising rate.

They are because the thermal energy is essentially trapped so the PV curve follows an adiabat.
