Suspension 140-160

"140's have one of the best live axle setup's traction wise. Resist the urge to put a sway bar on the rear unless you are using a locked diff. It may feel better but the loss of drive out of corners just makes it slower."

LSDs are one of the first things that should happen to any spirited car. I am considering leaving my rear end "soft" in comparison to the front for traction / weight transfer reasons.. is there a way to do this while limiting body role? IE will a rear sway bar affect squating?
