Now this is how I do it. I always completely build the car and drive it in it's raw state. If it feels like it wants anti roll bars I put them on.
That is the only way I know how to do it. I have figured out the roll center on cars, center of gravity in relationship to the centerline of the spindles and axle, and about every other method that people have told me is the absolute way of determine this. The best way I have fond is, just the way I do it.
Sorry I'm not much help.

What a coincidence, the same scientific approach I use!!! I conduct my "Does it need a sway bar" evaluation on this curvy road around the lake... On one particular curve, if I can come into it at 45 and have an exit speed of 55, no sway bar required..... Before I put the bar to the car, I also play around a bit with spring rates and shock valving.... If I do use a bar, I always use one with adjustable end links for adjustment...Figure if I have to carry the extra weight, might as well make it work!!!!
