problem with sway bars is they are a non linear spring (rate depends on roll) so its harder for a damper to properly control the spring/sway combo. ideal damping at full lean will be underdamped at anything less

soft springs mean more pitching/squatting on brakes/gas, which are both bad for grip and handling

my local suspension guru chris billings swears by choosing springs for roll/pitch/dive/etc, and using ONLY a front bar to balance the car mid-corner
