I'm a HUGE fan of adjust-ability. We dial our cars per track (its what we do in professional racing, so I do it in club racing also) **Most** of the pro drivers I work with/drive with don't run a rear bar but have a LSD (it means you are very close on spring rate and have the car balanced with slight oversteer) We change springs and tenders until the car is balanced without the bars, then use the bars as a course adjustment and the shocks as a fine adjustment.

Try it. You have nothing to lose by removing a drop link from the rear bar and placing it away from the bar. Run the car and see if you like it. If you don't like it, reconnect it~! Pretty easy. I promise less wheel spin on open diff cars if you dis-connect it.

I disconnect the front and rear for racing when it is raining, so I do know what it feels like to drive without the sway bars - just never tried it in the dry on just the rear to improve lap times...

I worked all year on testing different configurations and came up with this exact same conclusion. Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag dude.
