How does a sway bar get stiffer??????? (not that stiffer is needed) only way is larger diameter, or change the distance/length between attachment points....research.

Or, technically, the material will also make a big difference. Think of mild steel vs. 4130 cromoly in the same diameter. Also shape (box v. oval v. round for example).

Because there is no ltd. slip, and not much power, more sway would only increase the likeliness of the inside wheel lifting under hard cornering...

I can tell you the coil-overs made such an improvement, it might be all you'll ever need. Also, the rear end is huge for a car this size, it looks pretty damn beefy.

Check out the TEIN project car, it has some interesting mods to it.
