like Phil said, it really depends greatly on the site. if its smooth and flat you may be ok. if its really bumpy your setup is much less then ideal. the springs are on the stiff side but that would honestly be the least of my concerns. i would be concerned about shock travel and ride height (i don't know your coilovers very well). you would want close to stock ride height probably. either way, get a skidplate. if nothing else, its worth it just for piece of mind. i'd recommend the primitive racing one.

if its uneven, you're really going to hate those swaybars. i recently added a 20mm front to my car, and while it made a HUGE improvement for auto-x, it blows at rally-x. i still beat Paul Dunn ( ) but the car wasn't as good, especially under braking as the bar just wouldn't let the tires make good contact with the dirt. you may consider disconnecting the bar.

i might take it out on a gravel road to see how it does. most roads are smoother and easier on the suspension then a rally-x, but it should be a good indication.
