Well swaybars act differently than springs in that they get much stiffer the more you roll. When you are in a prolonged turn, and the body is rolling, they add a lot of front stiffness.

Front stiffness reduces oversteer/causes understeer.

This is good because it allows you put more power down without breaking the end completely loose. You could get the same effect without a sway bar, but it would lead to understeer where you don't want it (basicly what you have now).

RWD cars have a tendancy to understeer on entrance, but oversteer on exit. A bigger front sway bar can help ballance this out.
