Are you talking front or rear sway bar? You might get better answers in the high performance section too. I'm interested in this too, I'm installing Caltracs this winter too once I get a few other things done

Rear.

Nope you're good to run both. They do 2 totally different things that don't interfere with one another. Caltracs will limit spring wrap on hard acceleration and move your instant center forward while the sway bar limits body roll in turns.
