You'll only get a couple 10ths of a degree of additional negative camber, but doing this will help you retain some of your steering percission (especially since you are going +1 on your tire size). These minor mods will pay for themselves through improved tire wear, but keep in mind that finding the perfect balance can be a slippery and costly slope. Good luck!
The OP's description of how he uses the car does not suggest to me that a stiffer sway bar is necessary. Most drivers simply dislike the feel of roll, rather than its affect on the suspension geometry (i.e. he's not experiencing understeer on normal roads). But it's a fairly cheap mod luckily.


First1,
Yes, bushings wear over time, some more than others. Usually it gives the car more of a sloppy feeling than lack of absorption.
