Video Testing Sway Bars - Before and After: Taking Requests

I'll be installing Agency Power front and rear sway bars on my otherwise stock 2007 RX-8 (6 speed, all packages but not Shinka). Has some crappy Kumho all season tires that I will be replacing once it stops snowing here, but I still plan to do some before/after video comparison.

I was thinking doing one or more of the following tests, wanted to get the group's feedback:
  1. Emergency lane change at 30MPH
  2. Emergency lane change at 45MPH (bear in mind I will be using a fairly small parking lot so speed will be limited)
  3. Cone slalom at XMPH with 3 cones spaced X feet apart (LMK what you would like to see)
  4. Constant radius (skidpad-esque) turn at XMPH. I was thinking I could keep the radius consistent by measuring steering angle by number of turns from dead center (i.e. 1/2 turn or 1 full turn from straight).
I can also do these tests at different hole settings.

Let me know what you think would be most useful/what you want to see.

NOTE: I will be using stock links for the time being. If I have issues I will upgrade to adjustable.

MODERATOR: If you want, put this in the wheels/tires/suspension section as I do not yet have credentials to post there.
