Wil,
Looking thru old notes I found a nice piece someone sent me a long time ago. I'm sorry to say I don't know who did it. Perhaps it was you? Or perhaps if he sees this he will chime in? MYSTERY SOLVED. BURGERMEISTER DID IT.
In any event, if you look at the items highlighted in orange by me, you will find my summary of this author's view that the front sway bar contributes 37% of the total front roll stiffness and the rear sway bar 23% of the total rear roll stiffness... given all of his assumptions including size of the various bars etc. Does that sound like it's in the ball park? I hope you can read these photos of the author's spreadsheet. I can send you or anyone else who is interested the Excel file if you want.
