Also, regarding the different side settings. I definitely learned something today regarding the overall torque on the bars as you discussed. Theoretically, assuming a bar had an even split spread between settings, for example on a 5-setting bar..would running the L/R sides on a middle setting then be the same overall as running one side on full soft, and one side on full stiff? Just curious about the science behind it all.
I think if you examined the suspension as one side moving up and down while the other side is held, then the difference in the attachment point changes the piviting point as thus the force per angle change in the sway is different.

another way to look at it is if you can remove the springs, then moving one side up and down will induce different vertical motion on the other side. not good.

as for figure of merit on sway bars, I called Tarett and they sent me a table comparing GT3 front and Tarett back versus standard, standard S, M030 and m030 S sway bars as function of drop link attachment points .
