Bennies of Sways on an FC

I've done some looking, so if this is a repost question I do apologize..
I've got a 91 N/A in stock form... I autoX this veh, and well, will upgrading the swaybars help or hinder? I know in some veh's such as the VW schirraco, removing the sway bar is fanastic for cornering.... will the sways on the FC assist in cutting down some of the understeer? and will a tower brace help out as well? or are the FC chassis alirght without them?


Thanx

Stabilizer bars are good for keeping the chassis from tilting.
If you're worried about understeer or oversteer, the stabilizer bars balance, front versus rear, is wrong.

With any suspension upgrades, you raise the limit but shorten the warning time before you hit that limit.
