He is asking for 2 things
A stiffer setup, but he still wants ride comfort.
I think you will feel a difference with the sways. but not that much.
If you really wanted a total different feeling, you would need to lower it a tad bit and get stiffer suspension and the under body brace.
But you will loose a tad bit of your comfortable ride.
You are asking for half of the shirt starched in one line, then asking for the entire shirt to be starched next.
You cant have both.

So, to expand my thread here.....
Assuming I did not want to lower the car, would adding stiffer shocks on the stock 250 springs do anything noticable? Are the shocks stiff enough by themselves. For this question eliminate the concern about ride quality.

basically here's what you do to eliminate body roll.
A) F-Sport Sway Bars Front and Back.
B) Adjustable Coilover Suspension (Corner weight the car)
C) Tom's Underbody Brace kit
Optional) Just for fun, throw in that Jun-TW Strut Tower Brace
