The car just seems to bite better without the rear sway. At the autocross at the performance nissan meet I was basically sliding the whole course. After I dis-connected the rear sway the rear just had more grip. I was still sliding, but it was much more controllable and less sliding total. I believe that it is related to the massive amounts of anti-squat designed into the rear suspension of the s-13's that causes it. It basically binds the rear suspension to prevent squat, which in turn transfers less weight to the rear tires. Removing the rear sway bar allows more weight transfer to the outside tire, which helps it bite better.
