nice find josh. and is that a FI conversion? i've been wanting one of those once i get that 12a bridged i think that self tunning kit from jegs would be a good combo, hopefully it'll be a lot cheaper by then.

A front sway bar is really not optional, it should always be there, it keeps your front wheels
both on the ground for better steering control. A sway bar just transfers load from one side to
the other. A rear bar can aggravate snap oversteer but is really nice for dodging cones on an
autocross or some mountains rodes. I keep both the stock bars on mine. Some remove or
never install the rear so that snap oversteer is slightly reduced. Not worth it my book. Good
tires will allow to control the oversteer better than anything.
The fact that sway bars reduce roll is just a side affect but its not the goal. The goal is to
keep equal forces on both tires in cornering loads so that maximum tire patch is kept on the
ground. The rear bar with a solid axle can lift the inner wheel on hard turns which cuts your
traction on the rear in half at just when you might need the most. So thats why some folks
remove them.

The best bet for you is to leave the sway bars alone. Go with the rear steer eliminators. That's what's making the car feel weird. That and it's a heavy *** vert

Good luck. I haven't heard from Zac in forever. If you want a good deal on a rebuild, contact (LongsTurboFB) Josh Long. Trust me, he and I have ported and rebuilt quite a few engines in our day.
