SWAY bars are mounted on the underbody of the car from left control arm to the right control arm.

Here's some info, this page was developed for NSX's but the top section will help you understand what Sway bars do, the latter part of the page is mainly about ones available for NSX's so you can disregard that section:

It's a good cheap solution, but they're still stock equipment...isn't as strong as aftermarket parts (some that is).

Generally, you shouldn't be taking turns at such high speeds to require them in they city. If you're a track racer then go for it, otherwise you probably won't even "really" feel the difference. Most of the time a lot of people who put these suspension bars on "think" they feel the difference while it's actually only in their minds. they're like a placebo. We could install a piece of Taiwan tin in your car and you'd think you feel the difference. Trust me all my mechanics and racer buds say the same thing....'cept the illegal racers (hardcore) who really push the cripes outta their cars. LOL, a lotta these guys end up totalling their cars regardless of bars or not.

High speed cornering definately belongs in a controlled environment.

LOL, definately the track.

Last thing we need is someone in a ditch beside an offramp or worse, their car in a million pieces.

First off, lowering the car helps a lot. Then you could start to think about the bars. Yeah the Tower bar(s) would be a good place to start.

Koni yellows are the best, they're adjustable too. Used to have an Eibach RoadRace/Koni yellow racing setup on my old civ' for track racing. Paid like $1600 for the setup (because I knew someone.)

It was such a sweet setup! Stiff ride or adjustable to softer whenever I wanted, 3" inches off the ground...wild on the tracks! Yet I had no bars installed at all.
