I had it balanced initially when I had it slammed all the way. Didn't re-balance since I've raised her up. My heights and damper rates are all dialed in at about 50%.

@gomer - why stay stock with the rear sways?

Rear bar will induce oversteer. If you like drifting then by all means swap the rear bar. Otherwise just stick with stock. If you check out the track threads you'll see most of the track guys run a stock or near stock stiffness rear bar while running a very stiff front bar. In fact, many believe even the Hotchkis bar isn't stiff enough in the front.

fwiw I've actually removed my rear sway. With that being said I've got stiff springs and the car is primarily used for autox. I wouldn't recommend this if your DDing the car.
