Sway Bars for Drag Setup?

^ That makes sense because it will help keep the rear axle on the ground while the body of the car tends to roll.

A stiff rear bar would help with wheel hop/traction because it makes the rear end behave more like a solid axle...

I would think, anyway.

Only track I do is the drag strip, and occasional "spirited" driving on the street. I know they have aluminum bushings but not sure about polyurethane.

Yea, I got no idea but I really never deal with drag racing.. I know the front bar can simply be removed but I have no idea of the advantages disadvantages of the rear bar size but from I hear they are generally helpful to keep the rear bar as it reduces twist/helps with wheel hop and keeps both wheels planted more evenly. I am going to guess though that in drag racing you can go to far with the rear bar size but I am not sure.
