rear sway bars

Hey, all,

I was wondering what everybody's thoughts are on stiff rear sway bars on our cars. If I go ahead and put very, very stiff springs in the front like I plan to, I need to dramatically increase the roll stiffness in the rear, or else the car will do nothing but push through the corners!
I've heard grumblings someplace that it is possible to use a front sway bar in the rear, with some unknown modification to the rear end links. Does anyone know anything more about this? I don't know about the rest of you, but as far as I'm concerned the 5/8" rear sway bar that I have stock on my car is a joke! I know there are cars with 7/8" bars out there, but it seems to me that going with anything less that 1" just isn't worth while....
Discuss! :)

Mike
