Pat, I think you did great.  I didn't lap you in the URQ (I lapped others in
our run group including a car with at least 30 hp more than mine, so this is
a big compliment!).

Your car is great looking too.  I'm sure those 16" wheels were better than
the 15" I had on my old 4kq (the red one that Gary Erickson was running).

Do you really want a rear anti-sway bar?  I'm not a big fan of those, but if
you need one I have one with some polyurethane bushings and mounting
brackets.  I could walk you through the install; it's pretty straight
forward.  If you are not going to replace your rear control arms with front
control arms, you'll have to weld a sleeve on the rears for the connecting
link.  Let me know.
