Hear me out - if you still have the stock front sway and want to try a fun experiment, put the stock front sway on and remove the rear sway bar entirely. It feels more loose but with an aggressive alignment and sticky tires it will pull some impressive cornering Gs
edit: no idea if this practice works on the later trailing link cars, but the NA/NB double wishbone suspension responds well to it
The fat front bar with stock rear bar has a similar effect, I think. Zero body roll entering a corner, but it’s pretty tail happy, which is fun with only 100whp. Really gotta commit to get yourself in trouble. I’ve got a lower ratio LSD sitting in the garage for when I thought I was moving forward with the turbo project. I should swap it in but then I’ll be making the car 10% even slower
On the power front, de-belting my a/c was one of the best things I did along with a cheap-ass OBX header. I’m sure it only frees up a very small bit of power but the motor gets just a bit snappier. Always dragged my feet on putting it back on in the summer because once you’re used to the lack of drag adding it back in felt like choking the poor thing.
