Default 22mm rear sway bar and 600lbs springs

just wondering how effective a 22mm rear sway bar is in an eg hb with 600lbs rear springs, 400lbs front for autocross, will the high spring rate cancel the effectiveness of the sway bar. has anyone experienced this?

no. the springs will not cancel the effect of the swaybar.

are you using a front swaybar?

That is a pretty good combo for autocross.

IF you ever take it to the track make sure you have your brake bias correct and do ALL of your braking in a straight line
