With the stock springs, the Racing Beat front and rear sways were very good for balancing the car, flattening out the cornering quite a bit.
With ground controls 440# springs front and 275 # springs in the rear, any rear sway bar turns my car into a drifter. With the rear sway bar removed and a Racing Beat front sway, the car is balanced enough to be tuned via ride height, tire pressures, and rear SA konis.

I still support front and rear sway bars for cars with the stock springs. In the case of stock springs, if you just get the front bar, you WILL understeer a LOT. The rear bar balances the car considerably in this case.

Racing beat springs:
These springs have been designed with a rate increase of approximately 20% (front - 156 lb/in) and 20% (rear – 128 lb/in) with a modest drop of 1-inch (front and rear).
Given those numbers, stock fronts are ~130 and rears are ~105...

$345 seems really expensive to me.

this is for Racing Beat
I remember when I was looking to buy that suspension techniques were a bit more than racing beat - $120/ea w/bushings
