ooh, I need a sway-bar too, I like the location. I will have to see if I can sneak one in there too. Which bar did you use? I look forward to a report back on how it feels.
Do you notice any roll oversteer on the highway? My roll axis angle was 7* and it was terrifying to drive on the highway, I need to adjust the brackets to lower that, but If you don't notice anything at 2.7*, I will aim for something like that.
