I put sway bars on my car to effect my front and rear traction...that's the main reason anyone does it. It also helps the car FEEL more stable (no body roll)...but i don't think reducing body roll improves traction too much...however i do think that mentally, i feel i can push my car more if it doesn't roll. that's why i said it's psychological. I don't care if the opposite side's tires come off the ground...they aren't doing anything anyways!! That's why when cars "three-wheel" in auto-x...the car does not lose control...because that wheel that's pulled off the ground isn't doing anything.
Maybe i'd wanna keep some weight on the opposite side to keep the load on the inside tire lower so the tire itself doesn't roll on the rim...but that's also why i run 40 psi in my tires on race day.
Sporty bug...i'd suggest going with bilstein or koni shocks...both are equally priced (just about) and both are lifetime guaranteed. The koni's are adjustable, bilsteins are not...but bilstein says there is no need to just them and that they self adjust...either one is a good shock/strut. Swaybars, just go with the standard bugpack type variety. No need to go crazy. Start by buying the rear one, and if you think it's too tail happy (tail end tries to pass you) upgrade the front.
