anyone, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong..

what i was to understand a sway bar does, is it decreases body roll, so your car doesnt lean (as much) during turns

Book time............

sway bars AKA roll bars AKA anti-rollbars AKA anti-swaybars.....

Anti-roll bars are quite possably the best addition to cars since tires. They provide an excellent means for adjusting roll couple Distribution (Handling balance). they also control body roll, reducing camber change through corners. Of the two jobs that an Anti-Rollbar does, Adjusting the Roll Couple Distrobution is the MOST important. So just what is roll couple distribution? Simply put, roll couple distribution is the amout of roll resistance at the front of the car relative to the amount at the rear. Changing the roll couple distribution balance changes the handling balance of the car. If you increase the front roll resistance, the handling balance will change. If the car was neutral before the change, the car will now Understeer. If the car understeered prior to the change, it will understeer more, and if it oversteered, it will oversteer less after the change. The opposite effect occurs at the rear, where increasing rear roll resistance will increse oversteer or reduce understeer. The roll resistance can be increased by incerasing either the sping rates or the antiroll bar rates, or both. This makes roll resistance changes the key to finding a perfect steady-state handling balance. Adjustible antirollbars allow fin-tuning of the roll couple distribution making setup much easier.
