I would not make any suspension changes until I got the rears broken-in and played with the air pressures.

You need a good baseline going into changes.
thanks, this may be the source. I had dismissed this since many un mount and flip the rear tires to get longer tread life due to high negative camber. but then, they may not be pushing their car to notice.
I would like to install stiffer sway bars but keep the ride height/springs - only DD and weekend drive through the mountain from time to time.
I've been searching the forum for sway bar information. as it stand at this time, I'm leading towards M030 S front sway and Tarett 18.5 mm adjustable rear.
thinking is that this will enable me to alter the "stiffness" front/back by changing the setting of the back. Amateur here - very green!!
