Default Rear sway bar and the G80?

Can the rear end live with a sway bar and the G80 option?
Is there increased wear or stress?

any info appreciated!

Mine has ... made several 12 second pass on it at that with sticky tires and traction bars. I think the G80 has less credit than it deserves.

Yes, Av's come with rear sway's and G80's. I bet the 'burbs and 'hoes do too.

Oh yeah - there shouldn't be any additional stress. They both have two really different functions...

I would worry more about the traction bars hurting them than the sway bars.

Both should help the rearends live. Grabbing hard can put stress on the rear, but wheel hop is much worse.

I fear mine just busting one day at the track on launch. So far I've got a 1.88 60' out of it.
