What puzzles me, is that a lot of GRIP guys say that the car feels better with no rear sway bar because of the trailing arm geometry being very specific on the FC.

I get that it makes the rear easier to kick out, but why would track guys recommend it if they don't WANT the rear to lose traction?

Perhaps the car feels more balanced when you remove the rear sway and it's easier to initiate a drift because of the now better stability?

I think a lot of people could be mislead that: "no rear sway= less rear traction" which I don't think is 100% correct.
