My experience with suspension goes like this..
You want to control body roll from the rear unless you have a good lsd (limited slip diff). You don't want to remove weight from the front wheel in a turn. Bigger rear sway bar is what you want. If you only do the sway bar without springs you'll end up just lifting your rear inside wheel higher and still have body roll. Body roll is bad only because it effects camber in a bad way (positive camber is bad). You can compensate it by running 2-3 degrees negative camber but then you end up going through tires if it's a daily driver.
