Thanks for the detailed responses LVDell, SH || NC, Mooty, and others. Very informative and useful. I had previously understood stiffer in FSB = more understeer, stiffer in RSB = less understeer, primarily because you are effectively tying together the two sides of the suspension. As you optimize camber and alignment settings plus your suspension for the track, my current understanding is that you want to set the swaybars less stiff to promote independent suspension movement to maximize contact patch / traction. Does not Lotus for example believe that with ideally optimized suspension, swaybars and even a limited slip diff are unnecessary?
Please correct any misunderstanding above...I am still learning. : )

Ah yes, the three-wheeled stance...love the race pics of RWD cars where the inside front is off the ground while cornering. Definitely prefer a neutral to oversteering handling balance on the kart track, and run quicker laps with such a setup, so softer in front/stiffer in the rear will be my likely setup once I get a 996 GT3. : )
