Why? A bigger rear anti-sway does the same thing as stiffer rear springs, only it's better. A drift setup should be almost exactly the same as a grip setup.
Also, the 240SX was not designed to run with a staggered tire width, which is why most guys need to run more rear roll resistance.

Because more rear roll stiffness is NOT what you want. With 9k/6k springs the rear of my car gripped the best without any rear swaybar at all. It is common for 240sx autocrossers/road racers to run without any rear swaybar. 240's, especially s-13's, suffer from tons of on-throttle oversteer. That makes them easy and predictable to drift, but a handful in a roadrace/autocross setting. I have never run staggered tire sizes and I never will unless I truly feel the need to.
Def: What size is the stock 350 rear bar? I was looking at some pictures of 350z aftermarket rear bars and it's hard to tell if they'll clear the exhaust. Some look like they will, others look like they won't. There are a couple 350's at the bodyshop next door. I'll try to shimmy under one of them and see how the 350 rear bar compares to the 240 bar.
