In an IRS car, the presence of "stiffer than necessary" front or rear bars amounts to little more than the amount of weight they'd add over the OE combination.

The RR traction help that stick axle cars can get from installing stiffer rear bars, or softer front bars (including front bar deletes) mostly does not apply here. Particularly if you've gone to stiffened-up cradle and differential bushings.
