I ask because the optimum roll centers are very different.
Brian, if you have an idea of what you're going to do spring & bar wise, share that, and that will help clarify things. Thanx !

So in order to couple with the rear setup I have got.. I am running a home made 3 link in the rear, roll center is about 8". coilover shock behind the axle, with a 300# spring. It needs more roll stiffness in the rear I feel, maybe due to the angle I have my shocks kicked in at... So my plan was to add a rear sway bar to that.
I just mention the rear because obviously I need them to work together. I am thinking I probly want to go with a little stiffer of a spring up front to limit front travel. I am trying to get the CG down and planned on having the motor fairly low. SO I guess that would fall towards the stiffer spring, softer bar category unless you can say why the other way is better..
I am unsure exactly on spring rate, I would thinkg of starting in the 450-500# range... Coilover mounted as far towards the tire as I can within reason
