Keep in mind that DICK's mind is solely in racing. Were talking stripped
out, welded in roll cage, no ups no extra's in the car flat out RACE ONLY
applications. This is his flaw. He will argue that his way is the only
way til he dies. That's fine with me. 

Jonas laid it out spot on for you. Shine uses NO front swaybar because
they use extremely high spring rates on their cars. So high that it would
be unbearable on the street. So, depending on what you want out of the
car, you will have to decide what the give/take ratio is. 

Ill also note that the top FSP VW's at nationals for the last couple
years all had a front swaybar. Its a long time debated topic.

This also can be looked up in the archives. I know ive talked about it a
few times. I should get all my old archived messages and put them in a
damn book. Its quality shit man.
