People altering their cars (was Type 44 rear sway bar)

<< I seem to remember someone (Shine racing) proclaiming that by 
disconnecting 
 the front and rear swaybars on a 4000CSQ and raising the front of the car by 
 1/2 a foot, the car would handle better.
 
 To which I replied...
 Handle better than what?  A dump truck?
 
 And I got flamed.  In any event, modifying your car is all dependant on what 
 you do.  For example, I installed the coil over suspension in my car because 
 I am more concerned with track performance than comfort levels, especially 
of 
 passengers (my girlfriend doesn;t like the car's ride much...).  On a track, 
 stiffer in most cases is better.  But I would never recommend the suspension 
 setup that I have to someone who is only going to drive their car only on 
the 
 street, because it's just way to stiff.  
 
 Do whatever you want to your car, because it's yours.  But don't waste your 
 time telling others that their wrong based on what they do.  I've already 
had 
 several people tell me that my car is too low.  It's not.  Actually, I could 
 lower it another 2 inches.  Right now, you can almost see the tops of the 
 tires.  But the point is, I like it.
 
 Later! To each his own!

 86 Coupe GT (lower and tighter, and probably getting worse in the next 
 year...) >>
