Default Remove rear sway bar? Horrors!

I have a 318/332ti with TC Kline double-adjustable suspension. When running against track-prepped E36 M3s, I find I can't get on the power quite as fast as they can at corner out. One suggestion was to REMOVE the rear sway bar and install a Bimmerworld rear camber kit, presumably to get more traction at the rear. I see from scanning some threads here that autocrossers often disconnect the rear swaybar.

Anybody done this for a track car?
How did it work?
Any other considerations on what to do with the rear suspension settings--such as stiffer or softer shock adjustments with a disconnected rear sway bar?

If I do the rear camber install, that should let me run bigger tires, n'est ce pas? Right now, I'm limited to 225 or 235x17s, depending on the sidewall.

Yes, I asked TC Kline. They haven't answered.
