I'm not really going to get into the specifics here, it just isnt worth it. I am not trying to start a war against a vendor here. Last night when I posted I was upset about it, but whatever, I am over it. The guys at RSRT were polite and responsive when I contacted them. The refund has been issued, I am moving on..
The guys at JSM were a help again, when I contacted them inquiring about any leads for a splined bar they gave me a few leads I didn't know about previously and ones that my searching didn't find. I was hoping for a more calculated way of acquiring parts than just shooting in the dark and praying I got close, thats why I had deferred to the experts initially. No worries, I got this, just need to dig in a little harder and ask some more questions.
Anyhow, between the links I already collected and the ones JSM helped with, I am going to list them up here for someone that may be interested and for posterity.
Coleman Racing, I haven't actually called these guys so I don't yet know what to expect, but its another lead and hopefully will prove fruitful:

This was the golden nuggetI had been searching for, a sway bar rate calculator:

The Speedway Engineering website has a lot of good information:

Speedway Motors (Not Speedway Engineering) REAR SWAYBAR Universal Kit (may need this for the rear?? IDK yet):

Anyhow I am sure there is more, but this is what I have at the moment. More to follow..
