I talked to Chuck about it, and with the Carrera sways fr/rr, this would be a well balanced system. If I did the through the body front sway, I'd have to do a new rear sway also, and then we're talking about some pretty good extra coin.

If I do go with the through-body sway, it wouldn't be too hard to do later.
I agree with Chuck, it will be fine with stock sways with 21/28 TBs for a street car. For increased size rear sways you also need to reinforce (at least) or replace with Wevo (at best) the sway bar mounts or they are pretty much guaranteed to crack/break with spirited driving.
