... so, by my calcs, vjl, stock of 22/11 on 7/6 springs looks almost perfect at 58.1% (neutral with maybe a touch of oversteer) unless you want to go to stiffer bars, in which case you'd need to increase both.

NB8C
I have done a research based on the AutoExe Sway bars (adjustable):
The bars will increase the stiffness by:
Front 28.8 dia (tubular): 198% / 237%
Rear 15.8 dia (solid): 220% / 285%
If only change the front sway bar, it will provide lot of understeer, a bit dangerous for FR car especially for those with less power (including non-turbo mx5)
If only change the rear sway bar, it will provide more oversteer, it might improve handling on NB8C, but for NB8B/A (less reinforcement), may lead to lose control easily.
For the front and rear... I will find this out very soon as I have just placed an order on these bars...
