i agree a lot of people speak out of their ass, and dont understand what corner weighting is , or understand why you need "double height adjustment", etc. yay
Having a rear sway bar helps with drifting. Having no front swaybar also helps with drifting. A sway bar increases the lateral load transfer and as the sway bar gets stiffer that cornering capability at that axle is lowered. So for drifting having an overly stiff rear sway and a soft or no front sway would help induce oversteer.

While this is a decent start, what were the sprung and unsprung masses that they were designed with. I mean knowing the spring rate is only one of the parts of the equation. But i'm sure you guys did a decent job on them. I just can't wait to see the dyno plots. Just make sure the tests are done right.
