With the transmission out, I took the opportunity to install a bigger, 22mm sway bar. In addition, these cool brackets from 928 Motorsports and solid drop-link were added.

The brackets provide tie-downs that are unsprung and are great for tying down the car on a trailer and during dyno pulls. The brackets also provide 3 alternate mounting points for the link that give four effective stiffnesses for the swaybar.

I made the droplinks with parts from McMaster-Carr. The bolts at both ends are 10mm so four 10mm rod ends plus a meter of 10mm threaded rod makes two solid droplinks. Already had the nut for locknuts. I did the same thing on the front except that's all 12mm parts. (above)

The second pic shows the parts mounted on the left rear of the car. Notice that there are washers used to keep the rod end from binding against the sway bar and the lower bracket. There are two at the top and one at the bottom.
