Every ex-works chassis (DTM, WTCC, BTCC) I have seen personally and in photo had a rear sway bar in and connected as well.
Now thats not saying some didnt do away with it (I haven't seen every one),,, but I don't think I have ever seen or heard of one without.

Wish I still had the book, The chapter was written by one of the principal mechanics for BMW's race program. All I know is I tried the specs he mentioned on a 200SX (S13) which has nearly identical suspention to the TI and the car owned its class for 2 years.. Unfortunately it got borrowed..
