Swaybar vs. lowering springs

[eht13]

OK... I just read that thread, and found it very informative. A lot of knowledge here. The problem is, this is one of those situations where the more you learn, the more you're confused.

I do not autox or anything... just regular road driving, although I enjoy pretty "spirited" driving when conditions are safe for it.

I'm not sure if the amount of body roll I feel when cornering is enough to make it worth getting a rear sway bar; it doesn't bother me, but I don't know if I'm used to it or not. I think I have pushed it near "the limits" on curves, but it hasn't felt like it was understeering to me... and I feel in control through those corners. This is probably totally irrelevant, but could the longer wheelbase of the sedan vs. the hatchback mean that understeer and roll could be less pronounced in the sedan?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If you're happy with how your car handles, why change anything?

Thanks Loren, that's a great point. I guess it is the whole "wondering about the unknown" factor that got me thinking about this (sway bar or lowering springs) in the first place... about whether it could be even better.
