I am planning on 8kg / 13kg but was also contemplating turfing my rear swaybar and going up a little to 14kg. The rear bar is not particularly effective and seems like it is primarily just adding weight (I wish I had thought about this before dropping the subframe and installing this...)

I went down that road before. It's more effective than you think. The rear bar is almost a 1:1 motion ratio. Spring rate = 30lbs at the wheel for every 100 at the spring. So, you can do the math with exactly how much spring you'd need to run to get rid of the rear bar (he had a 19mm, I actually have a 20mm bar on mine now). Kyle warned me about this last year and I was still stupid enough to try it. It was turrrible. And I'd added 200lbs of rear spring to make up for it, wasn't NEARLY enough. To run no rear, I'd end up at like 450/1600. And GLHF with longitudinal weight transfer there. If my car does not have the lateral balance I want with this spring rate, I'm tossing an M3 'vert bar on the back.
