Remember to kill your friend. Shoot me an email next time Jack. Got 265's on the back, with 235's up front. Could have gone to 275's & 245's as I have not dropped my car more than 1".

kw1k, given your situation, carbon is giving you some very sound advice, which won't cost you anything to apply.

As I recall, whiteline had an adjustable rear sway. I was under the impression that they were hard to get or discontinued. This maybe my error though. I am sure that a quick search here will find more. (I would do it but I am being lazy. If I do search, I will post later)

A note for clarity: You may already be aware, so please dont take this as an insult. You need a sway bar not a strut bar (I note in your post a mention of "struts".) A rear strut bar may or may not do anything, period, but it certainly will not loosen up your rear, which is what you need. The rear sway is under the car and physically links your right rear suspension to your left, thus (maximally) doubling your spring rate in a corner. It moves. A rear strut bar is just a "immovable" reinforcement between your two rear suspensions. It is would be located in the trunk. Some may argue that a strut bar is unneeded on this car.

If I recall right the Racing Beat rear sway is just as hard as the whiteline at maximum stiffness and it isn't hard to find/buy, but it isn't adjustable.
