I ran 600# rear springs and no bar for several years. I went back to 250# rear springs and a fairly light rear bar over the summer on an effort to get more forward grip.

Especially at GGs style first gear courses, the car just spun the rear tires too much.

It now hooks up much better making for faster times and better tire life but I did have to adjust my driving to the loss of lateral grip.
