You should look in to the HKS Hypermax III. I believe they work really well for a nonstaggered setup if you are looking to retain your stock sway bar. I run kw v3's with a saner front sway. My setup is really balanced even though my coilovers were meant for a staggered setup.

Without the rear bar correct? I have essentially the same setup but Even after adding a 4th hole to the saner it still was balanced toward oversteer. So far the best setup for me has been the saner on the softest setting without the rear bar.
I'm running on KW V3's and their stock springs which are soft. I've got a Saner bar on the softest setting also. The car is completely balanced with 255's all around. It will still over/under steer but that is due to how I'm driving it. Both are easily corrected with throttle input.

I'm going to probably remove the rear bar, run one of the popular choices for front bars, and find some shock/coilover combo that is daily-drivable once I start modding my car for the STR Auto-X class. As a general practice, I'd recommend trying to start with a car that is more understeer-biased and then gradually making the car more neutral/oversteer-biased as you get a feel for how you want it to behave.

If I were to keep the rear bar to aid in the overall responsiveness then I would need a monster bar from gendron or ARE. I just don't see how this would be the best solution though. At some point the front bar has to be too big and reduce the front end grip.

I know the Saner bar works well so far but with al the modifications to reduce the noise and make it work properly I don't know if I would do it again. It is sad that the comptech is no longer around. I should have bought it when I had the chance.

I don't mind the noise as long as I know it's normal
they are 10k all around.
