In my years of auto Xing 240's and a little in my 145 with IPD bars front and rear and VPD springs I can agre with the bigger front bar idea or less rear bar. However in my 242, I felt the placment of the panard bar was dentrimental. I actually had a plan to replace it with a Watz linkage from an Alfetta Alfa. The problem I had was I could have more speed in most situations but had problems with the rear slightly sinking around a right corner (good) and the rear lifting in a left corner causing the sway bar to reduce load on the left rear wheel limiting the ammount of powerI could put down. I havn't noticed this problem with the 145 as much but I know it's there.
