Ron and I came up with this idea...

Cheap, but extremely effective too!  I have even proven this to be the
case at the track... last month I took my 16v to Putnum Park for a full
day of track time, and logged 140 miles of track time!!
The swaybar really helped the car's stability and felt quite neutral...
I even had the tail out a few times during the day.  ;)

Just one word of caution about this bar...it WILL increase the cars 
tendancy to oversteer.  Especially in throttle-lift situations.  This is
a great situation on the track, but no good for the inexperienced driver!
--end of disclaimer--  ;)
