I would recommend adjustable sway bars, as long as you aren't worried about that bumping you in a higher class. Getting a good balance is important.
What Konis did you get, Reds (classic)?
When you had the car aligned, did you mention you were going to autocross?

Yes - reds. They are single adjustable while of the car. The current fronts are of unknown age, the rears are also of unknown age, but they were high quality used when installed 3 years ago.
Strange thing - when I removed the old rear shocks, I wasn't sure they really needed to go because the car didn't bounce at all. When I took them out, the rods just fell all the way in without any resistance at all. They were completely dead. Again - the car did not bounce at all. I'm wondering if my fronts aren't in the same shape.
The alignment was done by a pretty amazing shop in Washington State, but I specifically requested a stock job. I had the car put right at the Euro factory settings in preparation for daily driving.
