My interpretation is that the swing spring was implemented to minimize
the deadly (literally) inside wheel tuck under in high-G corners.
Adding a rear swaybar shouldn't undo that, and it will result in
flatter cornering (with more oversteer). If you're autocrossing, I'd
say add the rear swaybar and learn to use the excess oversteer. If
you're not autocrossing, it's just extra weight, so save some money (by
sending only half the swaybar cost to me and not putting one on!).
