Default Whiteline bars

I'm looking at improving the handling of my tib... but I don't want to lower it (it's just not that practical in this city) I've got a 17" rim with 205/45/ rubber on it ...which help over the stock wheels ... and am lookin at buying the whiteline sway bars ...

Will the sway bars help me with what I'm looking to do... I want the car to stay more flat in corners and slalomn etc ...

Also I already have the upper front and rear strut bars on

I have a Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar on my Accent, and it makes a big difference in handling. I have mine set on the stiffest setting.
I find it gives the car a more neutral handling balance when taking corners at moderate speeds and allows the rear end to swing out a little bit in HARD cornering. Of course, it also limits body roll, even with just the rear bar matched up with the stock front bar.
If I had decent tires, it'd be much better, of course, but I think the swaybar(s) are a good investment.

I would reccomend front and rear sway bars before springs. Yes, the whiteline bars make a huge difference. After riding in my car with stock suspenion and whiteline bars, and others cars with lowering springs and stock sway bars, the swaybars make the bigger difference.

Ok, I have a question about anti-roll bars in general. I will be mainly drag racing, but will also try road racing. Will anti-roll bars hamper or help straight-line performance? Oh yeah, I have coilovers already.

Sorry to hijack, if I am.

You are ... but it's OK ... They prolly won't do much for straight line no. Doing things like your engine mounts and clutch etc ... will help a whole lot more with the launch.
