Great post. Front grip is key to reduce/eliminating understeer on this car.
Our front bar is a monster. We've snapped 1 front sway bar end link so far.
Our rear sway bar is unchanged.
The secret is always in the tires

Fine for the road, but on the track not so good - seen a few end links snap doing this.
I put H&R coilovers on my e30 M3, it already had H&R bars - what a pig it was, completly mismatched, way to much bar for the springs, went back to stock bars and it was great.
There is a very good suspension calculator somewhere on the web, if you can be bothered to measure and weigh everything it works pretty good, see if I can find it. It comes down to sprung and unsprung weight and the relative frequencies.
But the secret is always the dampers in the end...
found this - not the one I was looking for.
