coordinating sway bars

roll rate also come into play.

with stiff springs and small bar you get a rougher ride, but more roll in the corners

with soft springs and stiff bars you get a smother ride but less roll in the corners. and if you go with too big of a bar it can actually lift the inside tire in hard cornering

And with too soft of springs you can lift tires. Or too short of shocks. I have experienced both on my wagon.

That all depends on what rates you choose for both. You could have stiff spring/small bar and soft spring/stiff bar with identical roll in the corners, but one rides smoother than the other on even, straight bumps. I'm not a fan of the way big bars jerk you around when you hit a bump in the road diagonally. If I ever decide to further lessen my body roll, I'll do so with stiffer springs all around to achieve a better balance and further minimize squat/dive. Even with cop springs, which are worlds better than the base springs, the car is still pillowy soft and would not ride like a lumberwagon IMO with 1000# front and 300# rears with Bilstein shocks all around. The Bils are the reason I'll never spring for it though, my cop shocks have less than 10k on them ATM.

I am running 1000lb front springs and still had to put on the largest front bar you can get for a panther. The spring location is pretty bad.
